Throughout the 1780s , he served as an official of the fledgling State of Franklin , and later served in various capacities in the governments of the Southwest Territory and the State of Tennessee . Ramsey 's children included early Knoxville mayor , W. B . A. Ramsey , and early Tennessee historian and businessman , J. G. M. Ramsey , both of whom occupied the Ramsey House at various times .

Following the war , Knoxville grew rapidly as a major wholesaling and manufacturing center . The city 's economy stagnated after the 1920s as the manufacturing sector collapsed , the downtown area declined and city leaders became entrenched in highly partisan political fights . Hosting the 1982 World 's Fair helped reinvigorate the city , and revitalization initiatives by city leaders and private developers have had major successes in spurring growth in the city , especially the downtown area .
