The original Norton Grist Mill was built in 1825 by Tink McCoy, who later transferred operations over to Lewis Norton and his sons. People from the surrounding area brought corn to the mill for grinding into corn meal. The owners would take one gallon of meal for payment out of each bushel ground. In preparation for the building of Norris Dam, the Tennessee Valley Authority purchased the mill and the surrounding lands that would eventually become Big Ridge State Park in the early 1930s.
