Alcoa is a city in Blount County, Tennessee, United States, south of Knoxville. Its population was 10,978 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Knoxville, Tennessee Metropolitan Statistical Area.

History

Alcoa history

Early company town

Shortly after the Pittsburgh Reduction Company changed its name to the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) in 1907, the company began investigating the possibility of establishing a large smelting operation in East Tennessee.

The hydroelectric potential of the Little Tennessee River, which exits the mountains about 20 miles southwest of Alcoa, was one of the primary incentives, as the company’s aluminum smelting operation would require massive amounts of electricity.

In 1910, the company established a base camp at what is now known as Calderwood, initially known as “Alcoa”, and was known as such until the name was reapplied to the company’s operations in North Maryville a few years later.

The Great Depression and World War II

Early Alcoa was a classic “company town”, with the company maintaining a paternalistic relationship with the city.

The city’s welfare was almost wholly dependent upon the company’s fortunes. This presented a problem for the company, which feared that its workforce would leave to look for jobs elsewhere during times of low production.

Thus, during the Great Depression, the company maintained steady production levels in spite of the lack of demand for aluminum. Managers sought to cut workers’ hoursโ€” which at one point dropped to 30 hours per weekโ€” rather than slash jobs. By the end of the decade, the company had stockpiled 42,000 tons of aluminum.

Modern Alcoa

After World War II, the city of Alcoa became less and less dependent upon its parent company. Alcoa’s public image had suffered due to its hardline stance toward labor unions, and in response, it launched a series of public relations initiatives, including the donation of land for schools, parks, and airport construction.

The company also desegregated its facilities during this period. In the early 1950s, the company began selling off company housing to employees.

In 1956, Ross Walker became the first city manager who was not employed by the company, and toward the end of the decade, the company had relinquished ownership of city utilities.

The completion of the Hall Road Viaduct in the 1940s and the continued development of McGhee Tyson Airport over subsequent decades led to commercial expansion and helped the city diversify its economy.

Alcoa’s early developers considered public parks an essential part of the city, and in the 1920s, Alcoa sought to set aside 1-acre of land for parks for every 100 people living in the city.

In the early 1930s, City Manager Hultquist used idle plant workers for park construction, and over the years, the company continued donating land for park construction and expansion.

In 1998, a 3-mile section of the Maryville-Alcoa Greenway was completed, connecting Alcoa’s Springbrook Park with Maryville’s Bicentennial Greenbelt Park.
