The
City of Norris has been called a planned community, a model town, a garden city, and even a utopia. To its citizens, however,
it is a woodland home, an oasis in the busy world of the surrounding area.
The City of Norris has all the necessary ingredients for comfortable living: a good city government and
city services; tree lined streets and sidewalks; a public library; the town center with its grocery, post office, service
station, and restaurant; outstanding schools; churches for many faiths; civic clubs; and nearby dental and medical services.
The 2,400 acre Norris Municipal Watershed offers numerous trails for hiking, horseback riding, and biking. The
Clinch River offers great trout fishing, and nearby Norris Lake offers a variety of fishing, boating and water sports
activities.
