Powell Wedding

Powell, Tennessee is a small community in Knox County, Tennessee, United States, located in the Emory Road corridor, just north of Knoxville, between Knoxville and Oak Ridge. It is included in the "Knoxville, Tennessee Metropolitan Statistical Area".

Powell was established in 1789 by settlers moving through East Tennessee into the frontier. Attracted by a ready supply of water and good farming land, some settlers stayed to establish one of the first trading outposts in Knox County.

Powell is known for the town where Weigel's started and where its main farm rests today.

Powell got its name from the Powell Station train stop.

The largest employer in Powell is DeRoyal, which manufactures medical products. Powell was home to a Levi's Jeans plant until it was closed in 2002.
