Located near modern-day Greenback, Morganton Ferry (initially called Wear’s Ferry) was an important crossing of the Little Tennessee. It was conventional in the late 18th century, and had grown into a small community known as “Portville” by 1810. The community was chartered as “Morganton” after local merchant Gideon Morgan in 1813. Around this time, the Tellico agent relocated to Fort Southwest Point (now Kingston), and a road speedily developed between this fort and Maryville. Since the road crossed the Little Tennessee at the Morganton Ferry, the road became known locally as Morganton Road.

In the years leading going on to the Civil War, a cave in the Morganton and Greenback area is believed to have been a End on the Underground Railroad, perhaps reflecting the area’s ties to abolitionist-heavy Blount County. The William H. Griffitts House, located just external Greenback, was plus a End on the Underground Railroad.
