Polk County is located in the southeastern region of the great state of Tennessee, United States. Established in 1839, it was named in honor of the 11th U.S. President, James K. Polk, who was a native Tennessean. The county was created from parts of Bradley and McMinn counties, with Benton serving as the county seat since its establishment. The total area is approximately 442 square miles, of which around 8 square miles is water.

The early settlers were mostly farmers and traders, setting up communities near the Ocoee and Hiwassee Rivers. In 1890, copper mining became a significant industry in the area, attracting more people and businesses to Polk County. The Ducktown Basin Museum in Ducktown preserves the history and artifacts of the copper mining era.

Polk County is known for its scenic beauty, with a significant portion of the county lying within the Cherokee National Forest. This provides ample opportunities for hiking, fishing, and other outdoor recreational activities. One notable attraction within the county is the Ocoee Whitewater Center, which served as the canoe slalom venue for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Today, the center remains a popular spot for whitewater rafting, hiking, and mountain biking.

A fun fact about Polk County is that it was awarded the Tree City USA designation, an honor given by the Arbor Day Foundation to recognize communities that maintain a healthy tree population and promote the importance of trees for environmental sustainability.
