Oak Ridge is a city in Anderson and Roane counties in the eastern part of the U.S. state of Tennessee, about 25 miles (40 km) west of downtown Knoxville. Oak Ridge's population was 31,402 at the 2020 census.[7] It is part of the Knoxville Metropolitan Area. Oak Ridge's nicknames include the Atomic City,[8] the Secret City,[9] the Ridge, the Town the Atomic Bomb Built,[10] and the City Behind the Fence.[11]

In 1942,[12] the United States federal government purchased nearly 60,000 acres of farmland in the Clinch River Valley for the development of a planned city supporting 75,000 residents. It was constructed with assistance from architectural and engineering firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, from 1942 to 1943.[13] Oak Ridge was established in 1942 as a production site for the Manhattan Project—the massive American, British, and Canadian operation that developed the atomic bomb. Being the site of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Y-12 National Security Complex, scientific and technological development still plays a crucial role in the city's economy and culture in general.[14]

I’m from Oak Ridge. I grew up in one of the original homes of 1943 off of Pennsylvania Ave. Big Ed’s is a classic landmark one should never miss as someone pointed out. There is so much history tied to this city. Enjoyed the ride along though.

Oak ridge is a good town. Me and my wife resided there 10 years before a realtor bought our home out from under us. Now, we're staying in a small town named duff, tn until we can make our way back to oak ridge.

Born and raised there (67-86). If it doesn't get ruined, I may head back and retire.

Looks like a pleasant place, and the roads in the uk are much busier than yourself and smaller in rural areas. What's the crime rate like there ?
