How Much Local History Do You Know?

Alcoa, TN has a rich history rooted in its early days as a company town, closely linked to the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA). The company was drawn to the area in 1910 by the hydroelectric potential of the Little Tennessee River, essential for its aluminum smelting operations requiring extensive electricity.
Alcoa was established around what was initially called Calderwood, later becoming North Maryville where ALCOA set its base due to strategic considerations and local political support. By 1914, the company had purchased land and began constructing a smelting plant and housing for its employees, creating a well-planned community that included segregated areas and comprehensive urban planning to accommodate the burgeoning industry's needs.
The town's growth accelerated with World War I, heightening the demand for aluminum, which led to rapid expansion of ALCOA's operations. By 1919, Alcoa was officially incorporated, marking its evolution from a company-run town to a more autonomous community, although still heavily reliant on ALCOA for economic stability.
This dependency was evident through the Great Depression and World War II, where ALCOA maintained production to prevent mass unemployment, despite fluctuating demand. Post-war, the town gradually reduced its reliance on ALCOA, diversifying its economy and updating its infrastructure, which included efforts to improve its public image and integrate community facilities, paving the way for Alcoa's modern economic landscape.
