New Hope is a city in Marion County, Tennessee, United States. The population was 1,082 at the 2010 census, up from 1,043 in 2000. It is part of the Chattanooga, TN–GA Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Originally known as Antioch, New Hope incorporated in 1974 to avoid an annexation attempt by South Pittsburg, which most of the new city's residents opposed. The name "New Hope" was taken from a local church and cemetery.
