History
Information accessed in August, 2007. . The name "Tuckaleechee" is from the Cherokee "'Tikwalitsi'", and its original meaning is unknown. 19th century anthropologist James Mooney recounted an attempted raid on the Cherokee villages in Tuckaleechee by the Shawnee in the mid-1700s. The raid was thwarted when a Cherokee conjurer named Deadwood Lighter envisioned the position of the Shawano ambush, and the Cherokees surprised the raiders from the rear, killing many of them and chasing the rest back over the crest of the Smokies.Mooney, page 374. By the time the first Euro-American settlers arrived in Tuckaleechee in the late 1700s, the Cherokee villages had been abandoned.Tennessee Historical Commission marker IE 15 along US-321, Townsend, Tennessee. By 1200 A.D., Tuckaleechee's Native American inhabitants had built a fortified village near the cove's northern entrance.
