The creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the 1930s resulted in the purchase of the Cades Cove community and much of the land to the east of Townsend. Townsend itself changed from a logging community to a tourist center in the late 1930s as it became one of the gateways to the Smokies. These years also saw an expansion of tourist facilities and summer cabins in the area adjacent to Townsend such as at Kinzel Springs. The tourist industry would become a major part of this area's economy after World War II.
