High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Sycamore Shoals of the Watauga River, usually shortened to Sycamore Shoals, is a rocky stretch of river rapids along the Watauga River in Elizabethton, in the U.S. state of Tennessee. The shoals have long been a significant landmark in the prehistory and history of the Trans-Appalachian region, first as an early Native American habitation site and Cherokee gathering place, and later as the site of numerous events critical to the establishment of the states of Tennessee and Kentucky and the settlement of the Trans-Appalachian frontier in general. Today, the shoals are protected as a National Historic Landmark and are maintained as part of Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park. Explorer James Robertson (later a founder of Nashville) identified the alluring flatlands at Sycamore Shoals, known as the Watauga Old Fields, in 1770, and led a group of colonists to the area shortly thereafter.
