People For Progress In Your Community!
There are a number of reasons to move to Fentress County, Tennessee, but we like to think the main reason people pick our laid back piece of the world is because of our down-home hospitality. Ours is a community where neighbors wave to neighbors, where no one is a stranger and everyone treats you like an old friend. We take pride in our small town atmosphere, with a population just under 20,000, moderate climate, growing equestrian community, and a bounty of gorgeous views and rich history.
Lower cost of living. Residents enjoy the advantage of no state and local income taxes on wages and most interest, as well as one of the lowest property tax rates in the state.
Pleasurable weather. Fentress County has four distinct seasons, but nothing too extreme. You’ll get to experience springs perfect for outdoor excursions, mild summers to relax at the lake, magnificent colors of fall foliage, and just the right amount of snow during the winter to allow for schools to close for the opportunity for children to build snowmen.
Fentress County is a gateway community of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. So, needless to say, outdoor adventure awaits those looking to get out of the urban jungle and into the quite, pristine wilderness we call home. We specialize in offering the perfect outdoor retreat for horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, fishing and many more activities for you to enjoy.
Fentress County caters to all ages. Whether you are looking for a place to raise children or retire; this is the place to be. Fentress County provides something for all age categories. Children might want to participate in some of the extra-curricular opportunities provided by the Fentress County Board of Education and York Agricultural Institute, or play in some of our award winning sports leagues. Currently Fentress County hosts soccer, baseball, softball & football programs. Retirees might be interested in participating in the events held at the Fentress County Senior Citizens Center which is best known for being State Champions in the Senior Olympics and Runner-Up in the National Senior Olympics.
Fentress County takes great pride in its education system. Our Board of Education is committed to providing a high quality of education to each student in the district. There are two high schools in Fentress County: Clarkrange High School, an accredited 9-12 school and a perennial powerhouse in Tennessee girl’s basketball, and nationally renowned York Agricultural Institute, founded by WWI hero Alvin C. York and the only comprehensive secondary school in the country to be financed and operated by the state government. Fentress is also home to 4 elementary schools strategically located throughout the county for grades Pre-Kindergarten through 8: Allardt Elementary, Pine Haven Elementary, South Fentress Elementary, and York Elementary. Opportunities in private education are also available at Faith Christian Academy. We are very proud of our branch campus of Roane State Communtiy College, which offers local students many programs and allows them to transfer on to other institutions of higher learning such as Tennessee Tech or the University of Tennessee.
