Kingsport Celebrates its Centennial in 2017 First incorporated in 1822, then officially chartered in 1917, Kingsport, Tennessee, has experienced both hardship and great prosperity over the decades. Through it all, certain attributes have tended to emerge again and again to sustain us – qualities such as insatiable creativity, a never-fail optimism and unflinching selflessness. The Kingsport Spirit by J. Fred Johnson Frequently we are asked what motivating spirit has been most apparent in the building of this city of industries, schools, churches and homes. Were I to undertake to define the spirit underlying every step in the growth and development of Kingsport, from the days of its humblest beginnings until now, I could not avoid the assertion that the spirit, if it be a spirit, is one of mutual helpfulness and a willingness to submerge selfish interests beneath the individual effort to assure the greater good for the greater number.
