Big Greenbrier Cove, as it is called in the Smoky Mountains, was settled in the early 1800�s by the Whaleys and the Ownbys. Most made a living through farming and logging. During the period of the Greenbrier community there were four gristmills, three cemeteries, two churches, two stores, two blacksmith shops, The LeConte Hotel and one school.
