Fort Southwest Point was a federal frontier outpost at what is now Kingston, Tennessee. Constructed in 1797 and garrisoned by federal soldiers until 1811, the fort served as a major point of interaction between the Cherokee and the United States government as well as a way station for early migrants travelling between Knoxville and Nashville.
