Lowland is an unincorporated community in Hamblen County, Tennessee.
Lowland has historically been the site of many synthetic fiber plants; the American Enka Company, BASF, and Liberty Fibers once operated on the same plant site in the community.[2] [3] [4] [5]
Lowland is located near Tennessee State Route 160, Interstate 81 and the Norfolk Southern Railway 6.2miles southeast of Morristown.[6]
Lowland had a post office from February 1, 1949, to June 11, 2011; it still has its own ZIP code, 37778.[7] [8]
The former industrial site of the Liberty Fibers/Enka/BASF plant and its adjacent wastewater treatment plant have since been annexed into the City of Morristown.[9]
The properties of Rural Mount and St. Paul Presbyterian Church in Lowland are both listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
