Nestled in the heart of the Appalachians and surrounded by the culture of west Tennessee mountain life, it is no wonder than Sevierville is called "Your Hometown in the Smokies." Home to beautiful green hiking trails in the summer, autumnal foliage in the fall, and snow-capped mountains in the winter, Sevierville apartments for rent are a popular commodity for Tennesseans year round. According to information from the U.S. Census Bureau, Sevierville has seen an increase in population in recent years, which is at more than 15,000 residents today. With so much to offer, it makes sense that many residents are calling Sevierville home.
Although the Great Smoky Mountains had been inhabited by Cherokee Native American hunters searching for mastodons for more than 12,000 years, European settlers did not discover these fertile farming and hunting grounds until the 16th and 17th centuries. One such frontiersman and Revolutionary War hero, John Sevier, was one of the first, who gave the city its namesake and later became Tennessee's first governor when the state joined the union in 1796. Sevierville remained the home of Appalachian mountain culture throughout the 1800s. Known for its plentiful agriculture, coal mining, and bluegrass music, Sevierville still carries on these traditions today with a thriving tourist industry.
They sky is the limit when it comes to attractions in Sevierville; however, the biggest reason so many tourists and residents alike are drawn to the area is its close location to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. More visitors come to this national park than any other in the country, and for good reason. Because it is part of the Appalachian Trail, home to an interesting history and culture and packed with information about nature and science, there is plenty of outdoor recreation for eco lovers and adventurers alike.
