Sevier County, Administrative division in Tennessee, United States
Sevier County extends across 598 square miles, encompassing the southern foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains and Tennessee's highest elevation points.
The county, established in September 1794 from Jefferson County territory, takes its name from John Sevier, the first governor of Tennessee.
The region maintains strong ties to its agricultural heritage while transforming into a major tourism destination through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Visitors can access the county through multiple highways and use local trolley services in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg to reach main attractions.
The county territory includes thirty-two educational institutions and maintains unchanged boundaries since its original formation in the 18th century.
