History


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.[3][4][5][6]


Geography


Lowland is located near Tennessee State Route 160, Interstate 81 and the Norfolk Southern Railway 6.2 miles (10.0 km) southeast of Morristown.[7]

Lowland had a post office from February 1, 1949, to June 11, 2011; it still has its own ZIP code, 37778.[8][9]

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.[10]


Historic sites


The properties of Rural Mount and St. Paul Presbyterian Church in Lowland are both listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
