Incorporated in 1839, early Chattanooga was a river and rail town. The geography of the region made it a convenient junction for river and rail traffic. When the first train of the Western & Atlantic Railroad arrived in 1849, the future of the community was secured.

Chattanooga Choo Choo, famous in history and song, is now a magnificently restored structure for all to enjoy. Today there is again the bustle that was so familiar in the railroad days.
