Opis EN

Historical Negro Island is not far downstream from the public boat landing and just before reaching Kings Shoals on the way to the next public boat landing at Laurel Run Park. It is not too difficult to return to the parking area from the island by kayack unless you pass the shoals, then the water is a little swifter.

 

Historical Negro Island on the Holston river in Hawkins County, Tennessee was likely named by the Phipps family that once owned it. William Phipps willed this island to his son James in 1845. It was a tract of land that he aquired from a Margaret Surgoine, a decendant of the founders of nearby Surgoinsville, which served as a trading stop for stagecoaches and boats, the latter of which traveled down Holston River. Surgoinsville was incorporated in 1815. It was named after James Surgoins, a French Huguenot. The geocache is a camo water-proof lock -n- lock with a log book and stocked with some trade items. Some of this information was taken from this source: http://genealogytrails.com/tenn/hawkins/willphipps.html
