about Chattanooga

Chattanooga is a city located in Hamilton County, Tennessee in the United States of America. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 155,554. It is the county seat of Hamilton County. The second largest campus of the University of Tennessee System is in Chattanooga. It is also the corporate headquarters and home of Krystal, the hamburger chain, and Miller Ind., the largest tow truck manufacturer in the world. In addition to being the home of Miller Ind. Chattanooga is also the birthplace of the tow truck, which was invented and improved on by the Holmes Company. It is also home of the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum.

During the American Civil War on November 23, 1863 the Battle of Chattanooga III began when Union forces led by General Ulysses S. Grant reinforced troops at Chattanooga and counter-attacked Confederate troops. The next day the Battle of Lookout Mountain was fought near the town.

Chattanooga has traditionally marketed its tourist spots very aggressively, including its large aquarium, caverns, and developments along the Tennessee River. The red-and-black painted barns along highways in the Southeast painted with the words "See Rock City" are remnants of a tourism campaign to attract visitors to a tourist attraction in nearby Lookout Mountain, Georgia. Chattanooga maintains a rivalry with the other major city of East Tennessee, Knoxville.
