Crossville

Crossville may be best known for the federal government's Subsistence Homesteads Division which established the Cumberland Homesteads outside of Crossville during the 1930s, as part of the New Deal program. Cumberland Mountain State Park was also built as part of this project.

During World War II, Camp Crossville was built on the site of an abandoned 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps work camp.
