Englewood
is a small town of approximately 1,500 residents, nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains of southeastern Tennessee. The town was originally known as Mortimer and later as Tellico Junction and its early economy was built on its close proximity to the Louisville & Nashville Railroad (later known as the CSX Railroad.) Tourism has also played a factor in Englewood’s economy, since the town is located near the Cherokee National Forest. Englewood is part of McMinn County, which is situated along the I-75 and U.S. 411 corridors between the metropolitan areas of Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Though considered rural, the area has a significant amount of industry such as Mayfield Dairy Farms, Bowater Newsprint, Johnson Controls, J.M. Huber Corporation, DENSO Manufacturing and Texas Hydraulics. With a transportation network that includes a major interstate, two U.S. highways, numerous Tennessee State highways, and an excellent airport, traveling to McMinn County is easy. The area also offers the kind of hospitality for which the south is well known. Nearby Athens, Tennessee, known as “The Friendly City,” offers shopping, restaurants and annual events such as the Annual Travelers Car Show, usually held in July.

Englewood Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The climate of the northeastern Tennessee mountains is temperate with moderately cold winters and warm, humid summers. Precipitation is fairly well distributed throughout the year; as there is no distinct wet or dry seasons. October has the least rainfall, July the most. Snowfall is quite variable from year to year, and some winters have relatively little. Thunderstorms occur anytime of the year, but are most frequent in spring and summer. Summer temperatures are rarely extreme, but the high humidity often makes it seem hotter than it actually is. Snow is minimal in Tennessee except in the higher mountain regions. Severe storms are infrequent in the state, being east of the center of tornado activity, south of most blizzard conditions, and too far inland to be affected by hurricanes.
