Grainger County, Administrative county in eastern Tennessee, United States
Located at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Grainger County encompasses three cities: Bean Station, Blaine, and Rutledge, with Cherokee Lake bordering its territory.
Established in 1796, Grainger County holds the distinction of being the only Tennessee county named after a woman, Mary Grainger Blount, wife of William Blount.
The Grainger County Tomato Festival attracts 50,000 visitors each July, celebrating the agricultural heritage and connecting local farmers with their community.
The County Election Commission office at 7701 Rutledge Pike provides voting services, with early voting periods scheduled from October 16th through October 31st.
Cherokee Lake, created by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1940s, required the relocation of Bean Station and numerous families within the county.
