Englewood
Englewood was established in 1870, two miles
southeast of the location where two railroad lines crossed, and was originally
known as Tellico Junction.
Several shops, mills and houses were built to
take advantage of the railroad construction. By 1907, the Eureka Cotton Mill
moved there and became the primary establishment in town.
In the following years, the name was changed
to Englewood at the suggestion of Nancy Chesnutt because it reminded her of a
home of Robin Hood she had read about when she was a child.
