Early Ferries Established in Jefferson County

Owners of ferries were required to petition the County Court for permission to establish a ferry, whether it was for public or private use.  McBee's Ferry, located near Strawberry Plains, was extremely important to the development of Jefferson County.  This ferry, built just after the Revolutionary War, was -- for many years - the only way to cross the Holston River between modern-day Kingsport and Knoxville.
