Jefferson County Courthouse
Built 1849
Towns of Jefferson County
J efferson County, located in the heart of East Tennessee, is surrounded by natural beauty. With the Great Smoky Mountains in the South, the Clinch Mountains to the north, and beautiful rivers and lakes both in and around the county, Jefferson County has a great deal to offer its visitors as well as its residents. The rivers, including the French Broad and Holston, and the mountains were instrumental in attracting the first settlers to this scenic area.
Jefferson County, which was originally part of North Carolina and then part of the state of Franklin, became part of Tennessee when the state was formed in 1796. On June 11, 1792, William
Blount, Governor of the “Territory South of the Ohio” (as Tennessee was called at the time), created both Knox and Jefferson Counties and took steps to lay off Jefferson County from Greene and Hawkins
Counties, of which it was once apart. Jefferson County, named for
Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence and the third President of the United States, was divided in 1794 to create Sevier County, in 1797 to create Cocke County, and again in
1870 to create Hamblen County.
Jefferson County has five incorporated cities: Dandridge
(incorporated in 1843), White Pine (1893), Jefferson City (1901), New
Market (1977), and Baneberry (1986). From the pristine waters to the breathtaking views of the Great Smoky Mountains, this area’s natural resources are perfect for the discerning traveler who desires an authentic cultural experience.
Dandridge , which has been the county seat of Jefferson County Since
1792 when the county was first organized is the second oldest city in the state of Tennessee and the only city in the nation named for Martha Dandridge Custis Washington, the wife of our first president a fact that enabled the city to avoid being flooded by TVA.
The same courthouse that was built and used in 1845 is still used today and is the oldest courthouse still in use in the state.
The courthouse is also home of the county museum which contains many
Indian artifacts, firearms, Civil War relics, and well-preserved documents concerning the history of Jefferson
County. Two items of great interest that can be found in the museum are the original plat of Dandridge , dated
1793, and the original marriage bond of Davy Crockett and Polly Finley, dated August 12, 1806. Today Dandridge is an example of a town that embraces its historic past while still looking to the future.
New Market is an historic town that once was home to famous writer Francis Hodgson Burnett, author of such noted classics as Little Lord Fauntleroy , The Secret Garden , and The Little
Princess . There is no doubt that the beautiful rolling hills and scenic views of New Market must have inspired her.
New Market is also home to River
Glen Equestrian Park which is located on the Holston River. The property ranges from river bottoms to wooded ridge tops offering spectacular views of Clinch Mountain. The park hosts the
River Glen Horse Trails and many other important equestrian events.
This lovely town is also the site of the famous New Market Train Wreck of
1904.
White Pine is located off Interstate
81 one of the busiest stretches of interstate in the entire country near the northeast portion of the county. Incorporated in 1901, the town is today home of the Smoky Mountain Expo
Center, a 6,000 seat arena managed by Walters State Community College.
White Pine is also home to a little over
2000 people. The town sits far enough away from the busy interstate to still keep its small town feel, but close enough to allow visitors easy access to the many attractions of the area.
Slowdown and enjoy the artistry of the
Smoky Mountain Quilt Trail as you pass through beautiful countryside.
Originally known as the Town of
Mossy Creek , Jefferson City was renamed in 1901 by State Senate Bill
124, signed by Governor Benton
McMillan. Lumbering was the first big industry other than farming. Today
Jefferson City is one of the largest cities in Jefferson County and is the location of Carson-Newman College, a private liberal arts school that consistently achieves national acclaim.
Jefferson City is also home to many businesses and restaurants. With beautiful Cherokee Lake on the Northwest border and Patriot Hills Golf
Club, one will find that there is much to see and experience here.

Baneberry, one of Tennessee’s most beautiful cities, lies 40 miles east of Knoxville on a peninsula jutting into the Douglas
Lake portion of the French Broad River. The residential community with its attractively landscaped homes has spectacular views of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Residents and guests enjoy immediate access to the recreational advantages of the
Baneberry Golf Club and Resort, and to boating and fishing in Douglas Lake and nearby ponds. With its water and woodland trails and abundant wild life to be explored, the locale has the peaceful feeling of a nature preserve, while at the same time offering the services and amenities of suburbantype living.

Chairman of the Board
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce, I want to welcome you to Jefferson County. We thank you for visiting and considering Jefferson County as your new place to call home!
Jefferson County is ideally located near the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and surrounded by two of the most beautiful lakes in the country, Douglas and Cherokee. Our county seat, Dandridge, is the second oldest city in Tennessee and is the only city in the nation to be named for Martha Dandridge Custis
Washington, wife of our first President, George Washington.
While here, we hope you are able to enjoy the natural beauty of our county. Many people enjoy fishing, camping and other outdoor activities, but my favorite is watching a beautiful East Tennessee sunset against the back drop of our mountains and area lakes.
You will find that our Jefferson County citizens are friendly, hardworking and very dedicated to their community.
If you need anything while you are here, please call on our friendly, professional Chamber staff.
They are dedicated to making our community a better place to live and will be pleased to assist you.

Jefferson County is rapidly becoming synonymous with great golf. As one of the first golf courses built in the area, Dandridge
Golf & Country
Club has developed a reputation as an enjoyable round of golf for the beginner or the seasoned professional.
The original 18 holes, designed by Dan Maples, meanders its way through valleys, hills, and woodlands. Then, in 1991, nine more holes were added with the same characteristics or the original design, bringing the area's first 27 hole golf complex. And if the course itself doesn't offer enough scenic beauty, you will often find yourself pausing to admire the views of the Great Smokey Mountains and Douglas Lake.
Dandridge offers the same lush bermuda fairways and bentgrass green as it's sister course ( Patriot Hills ).
All combinations are par-72 and measure approximately
6,100 yards from the back tees, 5,800 yards from the regular tees, and
4,900 yards from the forward tees. Dandridge is a public course.

Lost Creek Golf Club is a public daily fee golf facility located just minutes from
Knoxville and the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park. Lost Creek is a very unusual and challenging course. The back 9 holes are built inside the perimeter of the front 9 holes. Built on hilly terrain in the foothills of the Smokies, all the holes are bordered by beautiful, mature trees and ponds affect play on two of the holes. The greens are medium-sized and slightly elevated and the majority of the fairways are wide. However, hole 16 will challenge anyone’s skill. The 532 yard par 5 winds up a very narrow fairway to a small elevated green.

The crown jewel of golf in this area is our newest course, Patriot Hills Golf
Club. The largest development in Jefferson County,
Patriot Hills was opened in the Spring of 1997 to rave reviews. "The best new course in East Tennessee" being just one!
At it's inception, Patriot Hills was intended to be more challenging than it's sister course (Dandridge). With a similar design, the course has proved to be as tough as you want it to be. The par 72 course measures 6,710 yards from the back tees, 6,068 yards from the regular tees, 5,609 yards from the senior tees, and 4,974 yards from the forward tees.
Patriot Hills offers the same lush bermuda fairways and bentgrass greens as the Dandridge course. The scenery is quite spectacular as well, affording the golfer many scenic views of English Mountain and the Great Smokey Mountains. Patriot Hills is open to the public.

TVA created Cherokee Lake on the Holston River in 1941 for flood control and power generation
Cherokee Lake is 54 miles long with a shoreline of nearly 400 miles and a surface area at summer water level of 30,300 acres.
It collects rainfall from a 3,428 square-mile watershed.

August 1.
TVA maintains two recreation areas on Cherokee Lake: Cherokee Dam Reservation and May Springs Recreation Area.
