Greene County, Administrative county in northeastern Tennessee, United States
Greene County spans across valleys and hills between the Appalachian Mountains, featuring farms, forests, and several small communities connected by scenic routes.
Established in 1783, the county was named after General Nathaniel Greene, who led Continental Army forces during the American Revolutionary War.
The county preserves multiple historical landmarks, including sites connected to Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States who began his career there.
The county seat of Greeneville provides governmental services, medical facilities, and educational institutions for approximately 70,000 residents across the region.
