Longview emcompasses an area beginning at the top of the hill, downward, where it butts up against Crestview and Southern Chain Oddfellows Cemeteries. It was begun about 1915 by the owner of a mortuary which served the African American community. It is at the intersection of Richmond Hill RD and Keith Avenue.

Abused; overgrown; abandoned; and littered with mattresses, car parts, broken furniture, and dozens of tires, a cleanup by Knox County inmates was recently begun. Thousands are buried here, most in unmarked graves. Pictured is Section 2, the second to be developed.
