Newport is one of Tennessee's last remaining affordable mountain towns, providing residents the great quality life that comes with a close-knit, hometown community. Conveniently located less then one hour from Asheville, NC to the east and Knoxville, TN to the west, and only 30 minutes to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, or Maggie Valley. Newport's natural amenities -- lakes, rivers and mountains -- are complimented by institutions of higher education. Newport schools prepare students for The University of Tennessee, Carson Newman, Maryville College, East Tennessee State University, Walters State, and Johnson Bible College. Newport is not just reminiscent of bygone eras, it has preserved the traditions of the past so important to a community -- a quaint downtown, holiday parades, an active city park, chili cook-offs, State Fairs, and friendly, caring neighbors!
