Hamilton County, Tennessee
Chattanooga is the star of Hamilton County. It’s right in the southeast corner of Tennessee, bordering Georgia. The Tennessee River cuts through, shaping the landscape.
This place has come a long way from its industrial past. Now it’s all about innovation and outdoor living. Rock City and Ruby Falls draw tourists by the busload. But locals have their own favorite spots.
The county’s not just about Chattanooga, though. There are smaller towns outside the city. Visitors dig the Civil War sites. Nature lovers can’t get enough of the mountains and rivers. Hamilton County has something for everyone.
