History
Like many places in and around Chattanooga, Hill City has a history rooted in the Civl War. Following the end of the war, Hill City was known as "Camp Contraband," one of several Union camp sites across Tennessee that offered asylum for former and escaped slaves. With an influx of this population, Hill City became one of the first African American neighborhoods in Chattanooga. (need more history!)
