Johnson City is located in Washington County. It hosts the popular Blue Plum Festival and the region offers majestic scenery. The town was established as a railroad station in 1856 by a man named Henry Johnson. It became a prominent rail center in the Southeast. From 1870 to 1890 the area experienced significant growth due to the railroad station and the thriving mining industry. The city and the nearby town of Bristol were well known for old-time music including the notable 1928 recording sessions named the "Johnson City Sessions." During the 1920s it was called "Little Chicago" due to being involved with bootlegging activities in the Appalachian Mountains. Citizens claim that Al Capone utilized the town as a distribution center for illegal alcohol. Residents also claim he resided part-time in a nearby luxury apartment complex know as Montrose Court in the Tree Streets of Johnson City. less
