About Madisonville

Madisonville is a friendly East Tennessee town that serves as the county seat of Monroe County. Tucked near the foothills of the Unicoi Mountains and the Cherokee National Forest, it has a population of around 5,000 and offers a relaxed, rural pace of life with deep local roots. The heart of town centers around its classic courthouse square, where everyday county services and local businesses sit against a backdrop of scenic mountain views.
