The history of Norris dates to the construction of Norris Dam beginning in 1933, the first of a series of flood-control and hydroelectric power-generating dams in the federally operated Tennessee Valley Authority system.
The Norris community was created by TVA in 1933 to house engineers and construction workers building the new dam, which was completed and put into service in 1936.
Norris celebrated its 75th year as an incorporated city last year.
The Tennessee General Assembly passed a bill giving Norris a city charter on April 5, 1949, which some people have considered to be the official establishment of the city.
