In 1787, before Concord or Farragut existed, the area was known as Campbells Station. The settlement grew rapidly, and by 1840, it was a thriving, self-sufficient community with many businesses. In the mid-1850s, the town of Concord was established two miles south of Campbells Station along the newly installed railroad lines, drawing many businesses from Campbells Station. Concord prospered, but Campbells Station remained peaceful farmland. In 1902, Farragut High School was built in Campbells Station. The school and the post office were the glue that held the west Knox County communities together. By 1944, nearly one-third of Concord was displaced by the impoundment of Fort Loudoun Lake. Soon Campbells Stations sprawling farms became subdivisions, and Concords businesses, churches, and even the post office were forced to relocate to Campbells Station, leaving Concord a sleepy village. In 1980, a large area around the school but excluding Concord was incorporated as the town of Farragut.
Fort Loudon Dam was the last of seven main-river dams proposed for construction in TVA's report to Congress dated March 31, 1936, and is the upper link in the chain of dams for navigation envisioned in the TVA Act. A record of the more important facts concerning planning, design, construction, cost, and initial operations of this major unit in the integrated water-control system is contained herein as Technical Report No. 11. It has been prepared from detailed reports in the files of TVA and has been edited to present special coverage to new or unprecedented procedures with relatively less emphasis on standard practices of engineering and construction.
