The history-rich area was originally known as Campbell’s Station after a fort and stage coach station erected by Captain David Campbell (1753–1832) in 1787. The brick Campbell’s Station Inn was built in 1810 and still stands on Kingston Pike within sight of the Farragut Town Hall. Formerly in use as a private residence, it was acquired by the Town of Farragut with plans underway to restore it to its original state. The Civil War Battle of Campbell’s Station was fought there on November 16, 1863.
The Town of Farragut was incorporated on January 16, 1980 and is named after Admiral David Glasgow Farragut (first Admiral of the United States Navy) who was born in the area that is now Farragut, TN. The first Board of Mayor & Aldermen were elected on April 1, 1980, with Robert “Bob” Leonard, serving as the Town’s first mayor. Mayor Leonard was instrumental in starting the Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce in 1987. You can read more about the Town’s early history HERE.
