Bean Station’s diverse landscape, like much of East Tennessee, consists of pastoral rolling hills, lush hardwood forests, and a picturesque lake. Neighborhoods are scattered throughout the city’s 4.4 square miles. About 2,500 people reside inside the city limits. Another 2,500 or so live outside the city but still call Bean Station home. Ancestral roots run deep. People are self-reliant, independent, and proud of their mountain heritage, strong work ethic, and traditional family values.
