Biohazard Cleanup Near Berkeley Park Farragut, TN

Farragut is an incorporated suburban town lying primarily in Knox County, Tennessee, with a small extension into Loudon County that the dataset's record does not show.

The town is named for Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, the first admiral of the United States Navy, who was born in 1801 at nearby Campbell's Station, just east of the present town.

The Farragut area was known in the late 1700s as Campbell's Station, a frontier station on the road west from Knoxville, and in the mid-1850s the railroad community of Concord grew up two miles to the south.

Union and Confederate forces fought the Battle of Campbell's Station in the area in November 1863 during the Knoxville Campaign of the Civil War.

Residents voted on January 16, 1980, to incorporate the Town of Farragut, largely to prevent the city of Knoxville from annexing the affluent subdivisions along Kingston Pike; the first Board of Mayor and Aldermen took office that April.

The neighboring village of Concord, south of the town, was deliberately left out of the 1980 incorporation and remains unincorporated.

The 2020 census counted 23,506 residents in Farragut, up from 20,676 in 2010, making it one of the larger suburban towns in the Knoxville metropolitan area.

The 2020 census counted 8,521 households in Farragut, and the town government cites a median household income of $109,156, among the highest of any Tennessee municipality.

The Town of Farragut encompasses about 16.2 square miles in southwestern Knox County along Kingston Pike and the shore of Fort Loudoun Lake.

Farragut's own ZIP code is 37934, the only code listed for the town in the dataset, and its town hall stands on Municipal Center Drive under that code.
