Hello everyone, In today's video I will be discussing the history and beginning of great Smoky Mountains National Park, as well as various Mysteries and strange disappearances in the park. Great Smoky Mountains National Park draws the most visitors of any of the 59 National parks.. roughly 12.5 million a year. For thousands of years, this region was occupied by successive cultures of indigenous peoples. The historic Cherokee had their homeland here, and occupied numerous towns in the river valleys on both sides of the Appalachian Mountains. Their first encounters with Europeans were as traders, mostly coming from colonial Virginia and the Carolinas. The park was chartered by the United States Congress in 1934, and officially dedicated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940. The Great Smoky Mountains was the first national park having land and other costs paid in part with federal funds; previous parks were funded wholly with state money or private funds.
