Location Description:

The town of Newport is situated along the Pigeon River in an area where the Foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains descend into the French Broad and Nolichucky drainage basins. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park boundary passes some 10 miles (16 km) to the south. Newport, due to its proximity to the Smokys, is a tourist destination in all seasons.

Newport, the county seat of Cocke County in Eastern Tennessee, was founded in 1903, in great part due to the logging industry. The main section of town, centered around the courthouse, is situated along the south bank of the Pigeon among a series of relatively low but steep cliffs. A more modern section of town has developed along US-321 between the courthouse area and I-40.

Some of the major employers in Cocke County include the Cocke County Schools, ConaAgra Foods, Walmart, Newport Medical Center, Cock County Government, Food City, Sonoco Products, American Appliance Produces, Lowes, and the Commercial Furniture Group. It is part of the Knoxville MSA.
