I just noticed that the Beverly Hillbillies page says they are from the Ozarks. This is obviously wrong. Their original home was in the Appalachians, not the Ozarks. Granny directly says she was born in Tennessee in several episodes. Granny also indicated she was born near the place Davy Crockett was born (Tennessee mountains near Limestone, TN). It is obvious to anyone who knows Appalachian culture that people in the 1960s don't move hundreds of miles away from their families and their family land. Last, I can't recall any episodes that refer to the Ozarks as being their "home place". The oil man in early episodes is from Tulsa, but why would he need to fly from Tulsa OK (on the western edge of the Ozarks) to Tulsa? Driving to Tulsa would be as quick as driving to any major airport. Tulsa is the closest airport for a lot of people in western AR (the Ozarks.) This is of course a fictional show with many made up elements, but I believe the Hillbillies were meant to represent Southern Appalachian culture and values. There are plenty of episodes that mention Tennessee and none that I can recall that mention the Ozarks. I guess I could binge watch the episodes and mark down the ones that mention Tennessee as the home place, but it is just not that important.

I'm not from TN.I have lived in MS. LA, OK, and MD. I am from VA, where I currently reside.
