== Fun facts ==
* Seymour has benefitted growth-wise off of being between Knoxville and Sevierville/Pigeon Forge, serving as a bedroom community, but not quite a suburb.
* Seymour has a bit of amenities to offer. It has a Nintendo World, plenty of fast food, Food City, dollar stores, Tractor Supply Co., Kroger, a few auto parts places and car dealerships, some local restaurants and businesses, 411 Motor Speedway, a sports complex, some public battle fields, a landing strip, Creekside Golf Course, and a few other things.
* On multiple occasions, residents have met to discuss the possibility of incorporating as a town or city. The majority of residents opposed incorporation, arguing it would bring higher taxes and expanded government, while others argued the community would benefit from a community center and sidewalks that might be constructed with the added revenue. Some Blount County residents want their portion of the 37865 zip code to be included within the proposed city limits. The incorporation meeting was geared primarily toward the Sevier County portion of the community, however. In the end, the voters voted overwhelmingly to keep Seymour unincorporated.
* The community is situated in a rolling valley where the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains give way to the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians. Bluff Mountain, the northern terminus of the Chilhowee Mountain ridge, rises prominently to the south, while the Bays Mountain ridge passes to the north.
