Crossville History

Crossville settlers who came to the area came prior to 1819 built the log cabin known simply as “the Homestead.” The area has its roots in the intersection of a branch of the Great Stage Road, which connected the Knoxville area with the Nashville area, and the Kentucky StockRoad, a cattle drovers' path connecting Middle Tennessee with Kentucky and later extending to Chattanooga.
