Greeneville

Town and administrative headquarters of Greene County, northeast Tennessee; population (1990) 13,500. It is located near the Davy Crockett Lake, on the Nolichucky River, to the west of the Blue Ridge, and 101 km/63 mi east-northeast of Knoxville. It is a centre for the curing and sale of burley tobacco. Greeneville also produces electronic equipment, furniture, dairy products, and paper. It is a gateway for Cherokee National Forest, 23 km/14 mi to the east.

Settled by Covenanters (Presbyterian Christians who swore to uphold their own forms of worship when in 1638 Charles I attempted to introduce a liturgy on the English model) in 1780, it was the capital (1785–88) of the State of Franklin. It was subsequently the home of US President Andrew Johnson.
