Sevier County Facts
Sevier County (pronounced "Severe") is quite large, measuring over 603 square miles and includes the cities of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, & Seymour. The population of the county is approximately 61,000 persons according to the most recent estimates. The area is named after John Sevier, the first governor of the state of Tennessee, and one of the area's earliest statesmen. The city of Sevierville itself is 201 years old, the focal point of the city being the county courthouse, built in 1895-96 for a total of $22,000. The area's most famous hometown girl is Dolly Parton, born on Locust Ridge on January 19, 1946. One of 12 children, she attended school here and went on to fame and fortune as a country music singer, songwriter, and actress. Her family still lives here and the Dollywood Theme Park, which is the area's largest tourist attraction, is a permanent reminder of her influence and contributions to our county.
