Introduction
Knoxville is East Tennessee's river city, sitting where the Tennessee River bends below the Great Smoky Mountains. Once a frontier capital and the 1982 World's Fair host, its revived downtown centers on Market Square — a lively grid of cafés, music venues and public art. Home to the University of Tennessee, it pairs college-town energy with Appalachian gateway status: the nearby Smokies and the riverfront Urban Wilderness trails put wilderness within minutes of the city's brick streets.
