Gatlinburg Overview

Bordering the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Gatlinburg Tennessee, is a popular vacation destination known for its beauty and hospitality. The area to be known as Gatlinburg was once part of a great Indian hunting ground and was explored by early European hunters and trappers. The name "Gatlinburg" was established in the mid 1850's by the first postmaster and general store owner Radford Gatlin. The logging industry built the region up in to the 1900's, upon which conservation efforts began to occur, which resulted in the opening of The Great Smoky Mountain National Park in 1934. From then on, Gatlinburg has become a resort town and hosted visitors who wish to take in the Appalachian mountain experience.

Today Gatlinburg is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Southeast. Aside from The Great Smoky Mountain Park, visitors also flock to enjoy Ober Gatlinburg, Tennessee state's only ski resort, which also hosts an amusement park. Another famous attraction is Ripley's Aquarium, which features themed exhibits based around the Titanic, pirates and the planet Mars. Gatlinburg is also known for musical comedy theatres, such as the Sweet Fanny Adams and Pat Waszak Theatres; along with pancake and candy shops. Gatlinburg is quite renowned for homemade taffy. Photographers and models are drawn to Gatlinburg, due to the gorgeous surrounding natural landscapes, which include stunning waterfalls, streams, vast forests and mountain views.
