Several attempts were made in the incorporation of the city of Sevierville since its founding in 1795, but it was not until 1901 that a continuous chartered city government was established. Ambrose M. Paine was elected Sevierville's first mayor on May 2, 1901 having received his law degree from the University of Tennessee that same year. The son of a minister he had moved with his family to Sevier County in 1886. An active businessman and State Democratic Party Leader, Mr. Paine was appointed by Gov.
