History
Originally called "Laurel Gap", the area was first settled in 1776. Many families lived in Laurel Gap, mostly farmers. Then a name change came about and it was called Bailey Town from 1892 until 1915. When the town became incorporated in 1915, the w was dropped and the name changed to "Baileyton", which stems from Claudius and Thomas P. Bailey, two brothers who lived there.
Geography
Baileyton is located the base of a rugged area of northern Greene County, just south of the Hawkins County line.
