CITY of BANEBERRY
Nestled in the scenic foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in beautiful East Tennessee is our quiet and friendly resort-style community—Baneberry.
Residents and visitors here enjoy an easy drive to the nearby cities of Knoxville, Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Dandridge, and Morristown. If you’re willing to drive a little further, Asheville, North Carolina, Kentucky Bourbon Trail, and a plethora of historical landmarks welcome you.
Touted as the safest city in Jefferson County, our residents relax in a rural setting but benefit from metropolitan-style shopping, service amenities, educational institutions, and recreational areas.
Whether employed or retired, Baneberry is a great place to visit—and we believe the very best place to live. Join us!
“Friendly, relaxing, fun, and safe.”

CITY EVENTS
Firewise Meeting: Aug 18
🔥We are seeking individuals from the community who want to be on the Hazard Mitigation Committee to help with updating our Community Action Plan. No experience necessary!
🚒In April, Baneberry Fire Department Chief Russ Gawler gave a Firewise USA® presentation at the city commission meeting describing what the program does and how it benefits our community. To summarize the program, it is a statewide program administered through the Division of Forestry designed to reduce the risk of wildfires and promote wildfire resilience in communities.
🧯Members of this committee would collaborate with the city administration, the Fire Chief, and representatives from the Division of Forestry to present a plan to the state for approval. The bulk of the work has already been done; we are simply updating an existing plan from 2017.
📛Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting to organize the Committee on Monday, August 18, at 7:00 pm if interested.
🧑🏽🚒Chief Gawler will be there to answer questions and provide an update as to the next steps.
