Encyclopedic overview
Lynchburg is a city in the south-central region of the U.S. state of Tennessee. It is governed by a consolidated city-county government unit whose boundaries coincide with those of Moore County. Lynchburg is best known as the location of Jack Daniel's distillery, whose famous Tennessee whiskey is marketed worldwide as the product of a city with only one traffic light. Despite the operational distillery, which is a major tourist attraction, Lynchburg's home county of Moore is a dry county. However, sampling whiskey is permitted on distillery grounds. The population was 6,461 at the 2020 census.
Lynchburg is part of the Tullahoma–Manchester micropolitan area.
