Stranger Things Theory Reveals The Show Is Set In &#8220;Honky-tonk&#8221; East Tennessee And Not Indiana

Fans of Stranger Things have been so involved in the mysteries thrown at them by
the characters they forget to notice a striking fact about the show. The
background of the fictional town of Hawkins where every action was taking place.
Although rooting terror and death scenes captured the attention of fans, the
settings were exceptionally beautiful and nostalgic.

And it might be surprising for fans to know what location inspired this Hawkins
town theme according to this theory. Read on to know more about how the
landlocked state of the United States ‘East Tennessee’ influenced the
most-watched show on Netflix.

Duffer Brothers shot most of the show in Georgia. But it seems the ideas were
brought from the enchanting streets of East Tennessee. For instance, after the
release of season 1, several fans were seen mentioning their hometowns in
Tennessee familiar with the set of Stranger Things. On the other hand, during
season 2 when Hopper and other townspeople were searching for Will. He told
Joyce:

“We’ve been searching all night. We went all the way to Cartersville.”

Thus, this was a major indication because Cartersville is a community of Mount
Carmel which is situated in Hawkins County, Tennessee.

Moreover, there is another incidence that speculates the connection when Hopper
investigates people for Will Byers’ vanishing. To which the man replies, “No,”
“We were fixin’ to go fishing down to Etowah next Sunday.” Any bells ringing in
your head! Yes! Etowah is a small city in McMinn County of East Tennessee. Also,
it is possible to assume that the people Hopper was talking with might go to
Etowah River for fishing as they said.

Meanwhile, if you still feel there are some loose connections, let’s take a look
at the structure of Hawkins town like the labs, buildings, roads, stores, clubs,
and red color of the soil. Like, there is an Oak Ridge National Laboratory in
Roane County, though they do not have any supernatural portal hidden underneath.

Therefore, if you search East Tennessee on the internet, you would see all the
threads connecting to Hawkins. They have an almost similar environment as we saw
in the show. Stranger Things 4 volume 2 is currently streaming
