Knox County, located in the heart of East Tennessee, encompasses the city of Knoxville, its county seat and largest city. Established in 1792, it is one of only eight counties created during the territorial administration and is named after American Revolutionary War general Henry Knox.

The county operates under a home rule format, with a County Mayor and an elected County Commission overseeing local governance. Knox County manages essential services such as the local school system, health department, and library branches, while the city of Knoxville maintains an independent police department.
