Farragut, TN

Kingston Pike carries Farragut past Campbell Station Inn, built in 1810 near an earlier fort and stagecoach stop that gave the area its original name. The inn received travelers and later served as a temporary hospital during the 1863 Battle of Campbell's Station. Farragut incorporated in 1980 and chose the name of Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, who was born nearby. The Knoxville-area town occupies hills between Blackoak Ridge and the Tennessee River, with I-40/I-75 forming much of its northern edge; the 2020 census recorded 23,506 residents. Recreation is distributed among five town parks and, as listed by the town in 2026, more than 25 greenway segments totaling over 20 miles.

McFee Park combines fields and courts with a splash pad and an adaptive bike-and-hike trail, while Mayor Bob Leonard Park centers on team sports and a wetlands walking loop. Founders Park adjoins the Farragut branch library, and its 11-sign Community Heritage Trail follows local history from Indigenous settlement through incorporation. Farragut Community Center schedules open-gym sessions, fitness, arts, and youth programs. Inside Town Hall, Farragut Museum maintains galleries on Campbell's Station, the marble and railroad industries, incorporation, and Admiral Farragut.
