I grew up just outside Chattanooga. I never heard Chattanooga referred to as being in Middle Tennessee. Always heard it attached to East Tennessee.

 

[BigOrange15]

Its 100% East TN

 

[LoudOrange]

The time zone is the line of demarcation from East to Middle Tennessee.

Verrrry convenient how they shaped that map

That and the east side of the Cumberland Mountains

Exactly. There are 3 grand divisions in the state. They are mapped out. Chattanooga is in East Tennessee. Whether someone in the Tri Cities “considers” Chattanooga to be East Tennessee or not is irrelevant. It’s not a matter of opinion.

Yes Chattanooga is about the same distance from NC as Knoxville or Johnson City. If you go much further East you’re in NC. So
What else could you consider Chattanooga than East TN?

Chatt and Knox are ETN.

We are NE TN. Two completely different things.

Chattanooga has Confederate memorials and Cemetaries.

Haynesville, now known as Johnson City, kicked the confederates out of town - to Memphis. Many here sided with the Union.

Who is they?? lol. Every map of Tennessee’s grand divisions has Hamilton County in the Eastern division.

Haynesville was named after a confederate senator.
But, yes NE TN was more pro union.

Most people in the Tri Cities don’t consider Chattanooga to be East Tennessee. I’ve always considered it to be crossing the River at MM 74 outside of Lenoir City, but I didn’t really feel it until I got to where it turned Hilly between Dandridge and Morristown.

People in the Tri Cities need to learn Tennessee geography, then.

Geography is hard, LOL.

So did a lot of Tennesseans. What's your point?

Yes, Landon Haynes. Ergo, why I said Confederates.

Love this area.

You’re probably one of those people that likes to tell other people what kind of BBQ is the best. It’s just the opinion of a group of people. You’ll be ok.

 

[WhatInVolnation]

I grew up in Murfreesboro (which is the dead middle of Tennessee), live in Chattanooga, and went to law school at UT. Chattanooga has a distinct feel to it IMO. It seems like a transition city between Middle Tennessee, East Tennessee, and North Georgia with a culture it’s own. True East Tennessee (like the Tri-Cities and Knoxville) is just different. I really think Chattanooga’s unique geographic position makes it truly a gateway to East Tennessee and North Georgia without really being either place. But to me, Monteagle Mountain is the landmark that separates Middle and East Tennessee geographically.

Tri Cities mind set - the state ends in Knoxville and SW Virginia is a 3rd world country.

I call on SW into Grundy and into WV. Its like going back in time 50 years.

Asheville NC is like a mountain oasis of culture.

I think Abingdon is a very nice town. Grundy/Gate City and Nickelsville on the other hand.

Don’t think that’s an opinion though.

Agree. Love Abingdon. Love Barter theatre and some nice restaurants too. Beautiful town

I've lived in this area for 41 yards and have always considered the Cumberlands and time zone to be the east/middle demarcation.

Some of the unwashed hippies are definitely culturing something.
