A scenic city in the heart of Tennessee's Resource Valley, Knoxville was recently named the "best place to live in the United Sates and Canada" among cities with population of fewer than one million.

Knoxville is located in the geographical center of the eastern United States and is within a day's drive of half of the nation's population. Knox Country is situated at the crossroads of three major interstates, I-75, I-40 and I-81.

The city of Knoxville has grown into a cosmopolitan area with numerous attractions and more than 500 restaurants. Due to Knoxville's convenient location, you can easily spend a day in the mountains or raft a white water river and still enjoy an evening on the town. There is something for everybody in Knoxville - where nature and technology meet.
