About Alcoa, Tennessee
Alcoa is a city of 10,978 people in Blount County, in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. In 1907 the Pittsburgh Reduction Company took a new name, the Aluminum Company of America. It soon went looking for a place in East Tennessee to smelt aluminum. Smelting takes huge amounts of electricity, and the Little Tennessee River could supply water power. In 1910 the company set up a base camp at Calderwood, which it first called Alcoa.
The company looked at Knoxville, Etowah and Monroe County, but it picked North Maryville. Maryville's mayor, Samuel Everett, helped win the deal. By 1914 the company owned 700 acres there. It was building the smelter and 150 homes for workers, and two of its engineers, Edwin Fickes and Robert Ewald, drew the town plan. World War I raised the demand for aluminum. In 1919 a rolling mill opened, and the town was incorporated as Alcoa, with C.L. Babcock as mayor. By 1920 it had 3,358 people in 700 houses.
- Steady work in the DepressionAfraid its workers would leave if the plant slowed, the company kept making aluminum through the Great Depression even with little demand. It cut hours instead of jobs, at one point to 30 a week, and by the end of the 1930s it had stored up 42,000 tons of metal. Unions grew stronger. Police broke a strike in 1934, and a second strike in 1937 ended with two strikers shot dead and the National Guard called in.
- Biggest plant under one roofAircraft builders needed aluminum in World War II. Production here rose 600%, and the local workforce grew to 12,000. The North Plant went up in the early 1940s. When it was done, no plant in the world under a single roof was larger.
- Parks built by plant workersAlcoa's planners saw parks as a must. In the 1920s the city aimed for 1 acre of park for every 100 residents. Victor Hultquist ran construction for the company and served as city manager until 1948. In the early 1930s he put idle plant workers to work building parks. In 1998 a 3-mile stretch of the Maryville-Alcoa Greenway opened. It links Springbrook Park to Maryville's Bicentennial Greenbelt Park.
- Streets named for inventorsBessemer, Joule, Edison, Darwin and Watt Streets honor scientists and inventors. Hunt, Glascock and Calderwood carry the names of company officials and engineers. The Hall neighborhood is named for the man who invented the electrolytic process for making aluminum. At first it was set apart as the place where the plant's Black workers had to live.
- A town of its ownAfter the war the company desegregated its facilities. It gave land for schools, parks and the airport. In the early 1950s it began selling company houses to the workers who lived in them. Ross Walker took over as city manager in 1956, the first one who wasn't a company employee. Before the decade ended, the company had handed over the city utilities.
