Best Answer

The first permanent settlement was made in 1769 in the Watauga River valley of East Tennessee, with a name unknown.

But, the oldest town in Tennessee is Jonesboro, which was founded two years after that first permanent settlement was made.

I would answer with Jonesboro.

North Holston, in the Watauga River Valley, was the first post-explorer settlement in Tennessee. The area was settled in 1769, by Virginians, soon followed by settlers from North Carolina.
