About Riceville

Riceville is a McMinn County census-designated place midway between Knoxville and Chattanooga, with Athens and Calhoun closer by. The community grew with McMinn County's railroad era: the Hiwassee and East Tennessee and Georgia lines brought new towns along the route, including Riceville. Riceville Elementary carries the community's name, and the 2020 census counted 688 residents. Riceville is an east Tennessee place whose clearest introduction is a rail line, a school, and the two larger towns that bracket it.
