McMinn County is located in Southeast Tennessee along the I-75 and U.S. 411 corridors halfway between the metropolitan areas of Chattanooga and Knoxville. With a population estimated at over 52,000 people, the 430 square mile county is still considered rural. Though rural, numerous Fortune 500 companies and subsidiaries call McMinn County home. Some notable industries include Mayfield Dairy Farms, AbitibiBowater, Johnson Controls, Denso Manufacturing, J.M. Huber, Waupaca Foundry, Heil Company, Johns Manville and Thomas and Betts. McMinn County is also proud to be home to Tennessee Wesleyan College, Cleveland State Community College-Athens Campus and the Tennessee Technology Center at Athens.
If your are looking for a beautiful southern community with a temperate climate, recreational and social activities and a low cost of living we encourage you to consider McMinn County and its five municipalities of Athens, Etowah, Englewood, Niota and Calhoun. The quality of life is only limited by how involved you choose to be.
