Neighborhood spotlight: Orchard Knob

We spoke with long-time residents, a historian, and a botanist, about what makes Chattanooga’s Orchard Knob neighborhood so unique.

The Orchard Knob neighborhood in Chattanooga is one of the oldest communities in the city, and home to a significant Civil War battlefield. At one time, Orchard Knob was home to many of Chattanooga's Black professionals, and the neighborhood had access to a pharmacy, fresh food, and other amenities. After a period of underinvestment, today's residents are working together to bring back needed resources.
