Norris, Tennessee
Back to Tennessee
Norris, Tennessee is located in the northeast region of the
state in the county of Anderson. The town is in close proximity
to Knoxville and Oak Ridge and is a small place with only about
1,500 people within town limits. Norris was originally built as
a planned community in 1933 when houses were built for the
workers who were employed to build the Norris Dam.
The town is now listed as a historic site in Anderson County.

Because of its location, Norris gives its residents easy
access to all of the culture and entertainment in Knoxville
where retirees can check out all of the arts and music
festivals. There are so many events in Knoxville that
there is usually something new to do every month. There
are also many state parks and amusement parks within reach.
Norris has an interesting layout. Instead of a more
typical city grid, Norris was planned in the style of English
garden cities, with roads following the contours of the land and
houses that didn’t necessarily face the roads. This plan gives
the city a kind of country charm that is hard to find anywhere
else. Retiring in Norris is like living in a little part of
history.

The climate in Norris is a humid climate, but doesn’t get
as hot as some of its southern counterparts. The summers are hot
and humid and the winters are cool with small amounts of snow
every year.
