History & geography

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. Bays Mountain, part of the greater Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, rises prominently to the north. The town is drained primarily by Gardner Creek and Hughes Branch, both tributaries of Lick Creek (which is in turn a tributary of the Nolichucky River). According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of , all of it land.
