Utsutigway

Utsutigwayi, or Lookout Mountain Town, was a Cherokee settlement on Lookout Creek near the wooded ridges south of the Tennessee River. It was also known as Stecoyee and belonged to the Five Lower Towns associated with the Cherokee leader Dragging Canoe. During the wars against American expansion in the late eighteenth century, these towns became bases for Cherokee resistance in the river country around the southern Appalachians.
