Creation: Appeared in 1923 as an original state highway running from TN 1 (now E Center St) Kingsport south through Johnson City and Unico to North Carolina east of Ernestville.
| Adjustments: In 1927 or 1928, TN 36 was extended northwest with TN 1, then replaced TN 68 north to Virginia. In 1928, TN 36 was removed from Old Fishery Rd and Zane Whitson Dr between Erwin and Unicoi plus Old Unicoi Rd and Tennessee St within Unicoi. In 1930, TN 36 was removed from today's TN 359 to Milligan, and Milligan Hwy/Twin Oaks Dr west back to Johnson City. Also, TN 36 stopped using temporary routing with US 11E from Johnson City (now Walnut St, Old Jonesborough Hwy and E Main St) and TN 81 north to Johnson City and placed on current TN 36 between Johnson City and its current Fort Henry Dr approaching into Kingsport. The old route used Summerville Rd, Old Moreland Dr and Moreland Dr (which has been much straightened in the TN 93 area); the crossing into Kingsport became an extended TN 81 (today this is S. Eastman Rd (no longer crosses Holston River) and N. Eastman Rd which mostly used Fuller St back then. By 1935, TN 36 was removed from Echo Ave, Tenneva Pl (no longer connects to), Tenneva Ave in Morrison City. About 1951, TN 36 was removed from Old Highway Rd in Temple Hill/Shallowford; Chestoa Pike from Chestoa to Erwin In 1954, TN 36 was moved from Sullivan St/Donelson Dr/Truxtom Dr in Kingsport to instead continue on Center St to Lynne Garden Dr In response to the 1968 Federal Highway Act, Tennessee requested an interstate corridor along TN 36's entire overlay with US 23. This was not approved. About 1980, TN 36 was placed on the new US 23 freeway around Erwin and Johnson City. 2nd St into Erwin remained part of TN 107 and Main Ave/Love St/Ohio Ave/Jackson Love Hwy through Erwin was removed from the state highway system. Irwin to Unicoi also remained part of TN 107. Unicoi northward eventually became part of TN 173 plus Unicoi Rd into Carter County; S. Roan St all the way through Johnson City to today's I-26 Exit 20. The freeway from today's TN 91 to US 11E had been TN 137.
Posting: TN 36 is secondary except for the very brief overlay with US 23 heading into Virginia. TN 36 is only posted from US 11E-19W northward Secret US Route Overlay: US 19W (31.6 mi) US 23 (0.2 mi) Comment: TN 36 was at one point 100% overlaid with US 23. | |||||||
