Greeneville is a historic town located in Greene County, Tennessee, United States. It is often referred to as the "Jewel of the Mountains" due to its picturesque setting in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The town holds significant historical importance, especially as the hometown of Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States.

Greeneville was established in 1783 and named in honor of Revolutionary War General Nathanael Greene. It served as the capital of the short-lived State of Franklin, an autonomous region that sought statehood from 1784 to 1788. However, the State of Franklin ultimately dissolved and the area became part of the Southwest Territory, which later became the state of Tennessee.
