The resident population is small — approximately 2,000 on the TN side — but the mountain draws an outsized tourist economy through Ruby Falls, Rock City, and the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park battlefield at Point Park. ## History Lookout Mountain gained national prominence during the Civil War Battle of Lookout Mountain (November 1863), sometimes called the 'Battle Above the Clouds.' Post-war tourism development followed, with Rock City and Ruby Falls opening in the 1920s–1930s. The mountain became the most-visited tourist attraction in the southeastern United States through mid-20th century advertising campaigns.
