Welcome to the City of Knoxville! The following is some useful information for new citizens of our City.

Knoxville's roots run deep and strong. The city has served as the hub of the region since its founding in 1791. The best of its Appalachian heritage remains today -- a strong work ethic, a family-centered community, and an intense respect for the natural beauty that envelopes the region.

The metropolitan Knoxville area was recently ranked the "best place to live in the United States and Canada" among cities with a population of fewer than 1 million. The ranking came from the Millennium edition of Places Rated Almanac. The results confirmed what most in this area have known for a long time - Knoxville is one of the best cities in the country!
