About Greeneville

Greeneville is a Greene County town in eastern Tennessee, with a historic district and deep ties to early Appalachian settlement. Jacob Brown, a North Carolina merchant, leased land from the Cherokee in the Lick Creek area, helping set the stage for the town's development. Greene County has held fairs in some form since 1870, reflecting a long agricultural and civic tradition. Greeneville feels old, mountain-adjacent, and historically minded, with brick downtown blocks, Andrew Johnson history, schools, and rural East Tennessee all close together.
