About Clinchport
Clinchport is a town in Scott County, Virginia, United States. The population was 64 at the 2020 census. Clinchport is the least-populated municipality in Virginia. It is part of the Kingsport-Bristol-Bristol, TN-VA Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is a component of the Johnson City-Kingsport-Bristol, TN-VA Combined Statistical Area – commonly known as the "Tri-Cities" region.
Clinchport was named from its location on the Clinch River.
Clinchport owes its small population to a severe 100-year flood event in 1977. After the natural disaster, local authorities incentivized residents to relocate to nearby communities with support from the Tennessee Valley Authority [1]. Today, few structures remain in the town's floodplain.
