Knox County is a county in Tennessee, United States, at the geographic center of East Tennessee’s Great Valley, where the Holston and French Broad rivers meet to form the Tennessee River. It had a population of 478,971 at the 2020 census and covers 526 square miles (1,360 km2), of which 508 square miles (1,320 km2) are land and 18 square miles (47 km2) are water, centred near 35\u00b059\u2032N 83\u00b056\u2032W.<\/p>\n
Knoxville is the county seat, and its downtown postal code is 37902; the county’s largest incorporated municipality is also its third-most-populous city. The county has one other incorporated municipality, the Town of Farragut, plus hundreds of unincorporated communities and residential subdivisions that carry historical or developer-given place names. Tennessee has no civil townships, so this page has no township table. Knox County sits in the Eastern time zone.<\/p>\n
Knox County has just two incorporated places — the City of Knoxville (county seat) and the Town of Farragut — and roughly 280 named unincorporated communities and subdivisions, most of them neighborhoods absorbed into greater Knoxville over the 20th century. In the table, Unincorp.<\/strong> covers everything from historic crossroads settlements (Corryton, Heiskell, Mascot, Powell) to platted residential subdivisions with no separate government or census count of their own; where a community shares a ZIP code with its own post office, that code is listed.<\/p>\n *<\/sup>Knoxville itself carries more than a dozen ZIP codes rather than one — see the ZIP Codes section below.<\/p>\n Most of the smaller unincorporated communities listed above share a Knoxville ZIP code with the nearest post office rather than having their own; the University of Tennessee’s Knoxville campus additionally has its own unique ZIP, 37996.<\/p>\n Knox County lies in the Ridge-and-Valley section of East Tennessee, between the Cumberland Plateau to the west and the Great Smoky Mountains to the southeast. The Tennessee River forms at the confluence of the Holston and French Broad rivers near the middle of the county and flows southwest through Knoxville; Fort Loudoun Lake backs up the river along the county’s southern edge. The terrain is rolling ridge-and-valley country, with House Mountain in the northeast rising to the county’s highest point.<\/p>\n Knox County borders Union County<\/a> to the north, Grainger County to the northeast, Jefferson County<\/a> to the east, Sevier County<\/a> to the southeast, Blount County to the south, Loudon County to the southwest, Roane County to the west, and Anderson County<\/a> to the northwest.<\/p>\n Knox County had a population of 478,971 at the 2020 census, the third-highest of Tennessee’s 95 counties. Knoxville (190,740) and Farragut (24,177) are its two largest communities by far, together accounting for roughly 45% of the county’s population, with the remainder spread across unincorporated Knoxville-area neighborhoods. Density works out to about 943 people per square mile of land. Knox County’s median household income runs above the Tennessee median of $67,631, reflecting the concentration of university, medical, and professional-services jobs in the Knoxville metro core.<\/p>\n The University of Tennessee, Knoxville — the flagship campus of the state university system and the county’s largest single employer — anchors the local economy alongside major health systems including the University of Tennessee Medical Center and Covenant Health, and the federal Oak Ridge research corridor a short drive to the west. Knoxville’s downtown and the Cumberland Avenue and Market Square districts carry the county’s retail, dining, and entertainment core; West Knoxville and Farragut are the primary suburban retail and office centers. The Tennessee Volunteers’ home football games at Neyland Stadium each fall are the county’s single biggest recurring draw, alongside the annual Knoxville area’s Boomsday Labor Day fireworks show over the Tennessee River.<\/p>\n Knox County was organized on June 11, 1792, from Hawkins and Greene counties, and named for Henry Knox, the first U.S. Secretary of War. Knoxville served as the capital of the Southwest Territory and later as Tennessee’s capital before the seat of government moved to Nashville. During the Civil War, Knox County’s strong Unionist sentiment set it apart from much of the state; roughly 89% of Knox Countians who voted on the 1861 secession referendum voted against leaving the Union, and the county became a center of Union recruitment and, later, occupation in East Tennessee.<\/p>\n Knox County is served by Interstate 40 (east–west) and Interstate 75 (north–south), which cross in west Knoxville, along with Interstate 640 looping the city’s north side and Interstate 275 connecting downtown to I-75. U.S. Highways 11, 25W, 70, and 441 also run through the county.<\/p>\n McGhee Tyson Airport, in neighboring Blount County just south of the Knox County line, is the region’s commercial airport.<\/p>\n Where is Knox County, Tennessee?<\/strong> What is the population of Knox County?<\/strong> How big is Knox County?<\/strong> What is the county seat of Knox County?<\/strong> How many towns are in Knox County?<\/strong> What ZIP codes are in Knox County?<\/strong>\n\n
