About Knoxville

Knoxville is a university city on the Tennessee River in eastern Tennessee, a gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains and home to a 1982 world's fair tower.

Knoxville lies in the Tennessee Valley between the Cumberland Plateau and the Great Smoky Mountains, and was the first capital of the state. The University of Tennessee, with a football stadium that seats over 100,000, shapes the city, and its downtown has the Sunsphere, a golden glass globe on a tower left from the 1982 World's Fair, as well as the Tennessee Theatre, a 1928 movie palace, and the pedestrian Market Square.
