Living in Farragut
Farragut is an incorporated town in western Knox County, stretching from Lovell Road west to the Loudon County line, with I-40/75 to the north and Fort Loudoun Lake to the south. Kingston Pike runs through the middle of town, and Turkey Creek's shopping and dining sit at its eastern edge. Farragut has its own town government, parks department and events calendar.
Homes and history
The area began as Campbell's Station, a fort and stagecoach stop built by Captain David Campbell in 1787. The brick Campbell's Station Inn, built in 1810, still stands on Kingston Pike. Admiral David Farragut was born near here in 1801, and the town took his name when residents voted to incorporate in 1980.
Farragut's homes range from established subdivisions to newer construction, including golf-course and lake-area neighborhoods, condos and townhomes.
