HANCOCK COUNTY, TN

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hancock County is nestled in Central Appalachia and provides residents and
visitors with a beautiful rural atmosphere year-round. Whether blooming with the
promise of spring or set ablaze with the colors of fall, the mountains and
ridges that make up our county are a sight to behold and are full of natural
wonders to be discovered. The tranquil Clinch and Powell Rivers take winding
courses through the county, creating lush valleys and plenty of opportunities
for outdoor entertainment. A peaceful small-town atmosphere offers a haven from
the hustle and bustle of contemporary life, and the sense of community here is
as old and strong as the land itself.

We have friendly, hardworking residents who are proud of their heritage while
looking toward the future with hope and initiative. Whether you are looking for
a scenic place to visit, a hometown in which to raise a family or a willing
community in which to locate a business, you are welcome in Hancock County, Home
of the Melungeons. Take a scenic drive across our mountain roads where we are
sure you will enjoy the trip.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU . .

"OVERHOME."
