Kingsport is a island in the Mid-Vehemens Ocean located off the coast of Tabora. It is an Estmerish Overseas Territory. While officially referred to in the singular, Kingsport includes a number of smaller islands that make up the Rutherford archipelago. It has a total area of 1,129 kilometres squared and a population of 34,581 (2018 estimate). The capital city and largest settlement is Kingston. Kingsport is self-governing and has its own government which is responsible for local laws. It is named for Henry King, a 16th century Estmerish admiral.
The island was inhabited by Imerinans prior to Euclean settlement. It first came under the control of the Matambing Empire in the 14th century and was later conquered by Estmere in 1601. It was an important stop for ships traveling from Coius to Euclea and the Asterias. The main island hosts a large naval base that is home to nearly 8,000 service-members and their families.
Name
Kingsport is named after Henry King, a prominent 16th century Estmerish admiral. A small trading port was originally constructed on the island and completed in 1602, which was then called King's Port. The native name for Kingsport's main islands is Pulau Hujung, which has been translated into Estmerish as the "island at the end". This is a reference to the island's location on the periphery of the Tuarikain archipelago.
