Bean Station is a town in Grainger and Hawkins counties in the state of Tennessee, United States.[10][7] As of the 2010 census, the population was 2,826,[8] and was estimated to be 3,113 in 2019.[9] Settled in 1776, it is considered to be one of the earliest settled communities in Tennessee.[3]

Bean Station is located primarily at the junction of U.S. Route 11W and U.S. Route 25E, in the easternmost part of Grainger County. It is considered a popular lakeside community appealing to retirees and tourists, and a commuter town for the city of Morristown in neighboring Hamblen County.

It is part of both the Knoxville Metropolitan Statistical Area and the Morristown Metropolitan Statistical Area.[11]

History

Early years and settlement

The crossroads of US 11W and US 25E in old Bean Station, circa 1942

In 1775, pioneers Daniel Boone and William Bean had first observed what is now Bean Station after crossing the gap at Clinch Mountain during a long hunting excursion.[3] After fighting in the American Revolutionary War one year later, Bean was awarded 3,000 acres (12 km2) in the area he previously surveyed for settlement during his excursion with Boone.[3] Bean would later construtct a four-room cabin at this site, which served as his family's home, and as an inn for prospective settlers, fur traders, and longhunters.[12] This inn and its area would have many names: Bean's Cabin, Bean's Crossroads, and Bean's Station.[12] Bean Station would later grow into a frontier outpost established in the late 1780s by the sons of Bean. This outpost included the cabin that the Bean family resided in, a tavern, and a blacksmith's shop operated by Bean's sons.[3][12] The settlement was situated at the intersection of the Wilderness Road, a north–south pathway constructed in the 1780s that roughly followed what is present-day U.S. Route 25E, and the Great Indian Warpath, an east–west pathway that roughly followed what is now U.S. Route 11W.[13][14][15] This heavily trafficked crossroads location made Bean Station an important stopover for early American travelers, with taverns and inns were operating at the station by the early 1800s.[13]

Bean Station Tavern

Bean Station Tavern in 1942

Through out the 1800s, Bean Station attracted the attention of numerous merchants and businessmen who appealed to the travelers that used the community's significant crossroads of the designated Wilderness Road and the East-West Road (Broadway of America) which replaced the Great Indian Warpath.[13][16] In 1825, Bean Station Tavern, with a 40-room capacity, wine cellar, and ballroom, was constructed at the crossroads. The tavern, was considered to be one of the largest of its time between New Orleans and Washington, D.C., and housed several famous guests including U.S. Presidents Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, and James K. Polk.[13]

When the Tennessee Valley Authority announced the impounding of the Holston River and the site of Bean Station in the 1940s, efforts began to deconstruct and relocate the tavern to a new relocation site of the community.[17] Due to several components of the structure becoming lost, the effort to reconstruct the structure was cancelled.[17]

In 1961, the TVA had proposed plans to create a 50-acre historical park near the western interchange of US 11W and US 25E for a recreated version of the tavern. However, these plans were later scrapped.[18]

Battle of Bean’s Station and the Civil War

Main article: Battle of Bean's Station

During the Civil War, the Battle of Bean's Station took place in the westernmost area of the community on December 14, 1863. Confederate Army General, James Longstreet, attempted to capture Bean Station en route to Rogersville after failing to drive Union forces out of Knoxville. Bean Station was held by a contingent of Union soldiers under the command of General James M. Shackelford. After two days of gruesome fighting, Union forces were forced to retreat.[13]

Tate Springs Resort

Main article: Tate Springs

In the post-Civil War era, a businessman named Samuel Tate constructed a hotel just west of Bean Station that became the main focus of a resort known as Tate Springs.[19] Around the late 1870s, the property was purchased by Captain Thomas Tomlinson, who would transform the property into a vast resort, focused on a large Victorian-style luxury hotel, that advertised the supposed healing powers of its mineral spring’s water.[20] During its heyday, the resort complex included over three-dozen buildings, a 100-acre (40 ha) park, and an 18-hole golf course.[21] The resort had attracted some of the wealthiest people in America during this time.[19] The resort declined during the Great Depression.[22] The hotel was destroyed by fire in 1963, and the only remnants of the complex are the cabins of the site, the pool bathhouse, and the springhouse, the last of which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[22]

Peavine Railroad

Peavine Railroad crossing the Holston River into Morristown

From the late 19th century until the early 20th century, Bean Station was a stop along the Knoxville and Bristol Railroad, commonly known by locals as the Peavine Railroad. The railroad was a branch line of the Southern Railway that ran from Morristown to Corryton, a bedroom community outside of Knoxville.[23] The Peavine Railroad had first operated between Morristown and Bean Station, with plans to connect north to the Cumberland Gap, but instead extended west through Grainger County towards Knoxville.[24] The Tate Springs resort located in west Bean Station, had its peak popularity between the 1890s and 1920s when the Peavine Railroad provided passenger rail connections to the site.[25]

Flooding and relocation

Old Bean Station in 1938, before the impounding of the nearby Holston River

The construction of Cherokee Dam by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) several miles downstream along the Holston River had plans that included impounding the site where the town was originally settled. Of the 195 to 200 families who lived at the original site of Bean Station,[26] 140 were mandated to move.[27]

Because of the historical significance, size and potential relocation problems presented with Bean Station, officials from the TVA, historians, and concerned community members gathered to discuss the future of the town and its relocation efforts in 1941.[28] A planning commission from the state government and TVA personnel developed plans for sites for Bean Station to relocate to. After controversy arose from negotiations from unwilling property owners and reluctance from citizens to relocate as a community, the planned community relocation project was abandoned, with the citizens relocating on their own will.[27] Many houses and other structures were demolished or moved, and at least one historical structure had to be relocated.[13]

Modern day

In 1967, a group of area residents organized and chartered the Bean Station Volunteer Fire Department.[1] Eight years later, the Bean Station Volunteer Rescue Squad was organized and chartered.[1]

Through the mid-20th century, Bean Station saw positive growth in population and economic progress as the community's two main transportation routes, U.S. Routes 11W and 25E were used prominently for the trucking industry, making the community a site of numerous truck stops.[29] However, after the completion of Interstate 81 south of Bean Station, the community saw a 60% decline in business.[29] As the region's economy began to diversify, manufacturing soon took over agriculture as the area's main source of income.[30]

In the early 1980s, US-25E/SR-32 was widened to a four-lane highway from Lakeshore Drive to a replacement bridge across Cherokee Lake into Morristown.[31]

In 1995, US-11W and US-25E were re-routed and widened into a four-lane divided-highway,[32] bypassing the then unincorporated area's central business district and prompting several businesses to relocate onto the new bypass.[30]

On May 23, 2013, an ex-police officer for the town shot four people in a pharmacy in downtown Bean Station, killing two. The following day, a vigil was held for the two victims with an estimated attendance of 300 individuals.[33]

1972 US-11W bus/semi-truck collision

Main article: 1972 Bean Station, Tennessee bus crash

On May 13, 1972, 14 people were killed and 15 injured in a head-on collision between a double-decker Greyhound bus and a tractor-trailer on U.S. Route 11W in Bean Station during its unincorporated era.[34][35] The accident is considered one of the deadliest and worst traffic collisions in the history of the state of Tennessee.[36][37] The accident led to outcry from politicians and citizens calling for traffic safety and infrastructure improvements, such as highway widenings, and the completion of Interstate 81 in Tennessee.[38]

Incorporation

As the population of the Bean Station region grew through-out the later 20th century, and the possibility of the community being annexed into the neighboring Morristown-Hamblen area,[30] residents gathered to incorporate Bean Station into a city. There were several attempts at incorporating the area that were never successful, the closest being in 1964 and 1977.[39][40][41] The last attempt would take place in 1994.[1] Bean Station was incorporated into a city of 2,171 residents by referendum election in 1996.[42][1][43] Before its incorporation into a city, Bean Station was represented as a census county division.[44]

Geography

City limits signage of Bean Station

Bean Station is located in rural easternmost Grainger County, 45 miles northeast of Knoxville,[45] where it borders the unincorporated community of Mooresburg at the line between Grainger and Hawkins counties. The town is situated in the Richland Valley (also known as Mooresburg Valley) with Clinch Mountain to the north and Cherokee Lake to the south. In the western of portion of Bean Station adjacent to Kingswood Home for Children on the Tate Springs resort site, two major highways merge, with U.S. Route 25E entering from the northwest, and U.S. Route 11W entering from the southwest. From this point, US-25E leads over Clinch Mountain 20 miles (32 km) to Tazewell in Claiborne County, while US-11W runs west through the Richland Valley 11 miles (18 km) to Rutledge, the seat of Grainger County. The highways split again just south of Bean Station's central business district, with 11W bypassing the business district and continining northeastward 17 miles (27 km) to Rogersville, and 25E continuing southward across Cherokee Lake into Hamblen County, 10 miles (16 km) to Morristown.

Tennessee State Route 375 (also known as Lakeshore Drive) also intersects US-25E south of the business district, which traverses into several of Bean Station’s affluent outskirt lakefront neighborhoods and subdivisions.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Bean Station has an area of 5.4 square miles (14.0 km2), of which 0.436 acres (1,763 m2), or 0.01%, are water.[8] The town limits include Wyatt Village, located next to an arm of Cherokee Lake along US-25E south of downtown, and portions of Tate Springs located near US-11W and Briar Fork Creek on Cherokee Lake. The town limits stretch 8 miles (13 km) along the heavily trafficked US-25E to the Olen R. Marshall Memorial Bridge across Cherokee Lake,[46] and 4 miles (6.4 km) along US-11W to Bean Station Elementary School.

Since 2014, portions of unincorporated Hawkins County in the Mooresburg area have been annexed into the town limits.[47]

Sewer

Bean Station, as of 2019, does not have access to public sewer.[75] Since the town's incorporation, officials have expressed interest and have proposed several unsuccessful attempts towards constructing a sewage treatment system.[43][76] In 2019, a master plan conducted by a Knoxville based engineering firm found that there was a definite need for public sewer service in Bean Station, as many existing septic tank and drain field systems in the town have reported failures posing health hazards to residents, and development opportunities providing job and economic growth are limited with the lack of access to public sewer.[75]

In January 2021, proposals for a sewer line extension by Morristown Utilities System into south Bean Station were approved by the town council.[77]
