Maryville, Tennessee - Introduction

The City of Maryville, with a population of 24,000, is located south of Knoxville in the shadow of the Great Smoky Mountains.  Maryville was established on July 11, 1795, by an act of the General Assembly of the Territory South of the Ohio River.  Located in Blount County, Maryville was named in honor of Mary Grainger Blount, wife of Governor William Blount. The county was named in honor of Governor Blount. Almost a year later, on June 1, 1796, the State of Tennessee became the 16th state in the Union. 

In 1819, Southern and Western Theological Seminary was opened. The name was changed to Maryville College in 1842.   Maryville has an active program for preserving its heritage.  This is best seen in the redevelopment and preservation of downtown Maryville.  Many historic structures in downtown Maryville remain and have continuous use. 

Currently, Maryville's downtown offers the community and visitors entertainment, office, restaurant, retail, recreation, government, education, and religious institutions, medical, and housing opportunities.  In addition, the new Blount County Library and scheduled community programs will further improve downtown's position in attracting individuals and families throughout the weekdays and weekends.  A 19 mile walking trail connects Maryville and Alcoa, and runs the length of Bicentennial Greenbelt Park in downtown Maryville.  Maryville is served by Blount Memorial Hospital located in Maryville and also by other medical facilities in Blount and Knox Counties.
