Dr Lloyd Noland established healthcare for iron and coal workers in Jefferson County in the early 20th Century. Arriving in the county in 1917 at the invitation of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, Dr. Noland was instrumental in bringing under control malaria, typhoid, smallpox, and dysentery rampant among local workers. The corporation's Lloyd Noland Hospital in what is now Fairfield, as well as a main thoroughfare were named in his honor.
