Signal Mountain is home to Signal Point, a famous natural landmark that overlooks all of Chattanooga and the Tennessee River Gorge.
First of all, Signal Mountain isn't located on Signal Mountain; rather, it's located on Walden Ridge and named for Signal Point, a famous local landmark. The town itself is actually a suburb of Chattanooga, so locals can experience its small mountain town atmosphere while enjoying all the nearby amenities of the city. When most folks think of a small Southern town, they usually think of the fictional Mayberry, and with a population of only 7,554 (2010 census), Signal Mountain does have its Mayberry-like characteristics, but it's also a thriving community with a good amount of tourism and several nationally-known businesses (including industrial cement manufacturer Buzzi Unicem). Small Southern town? Perhaps, but definitely with a 21st century way of doing things. See more
