Biohazard and Pathogen Disinfection in White Pine, TN

White Pine is an incorporated town in northeastern Jefferson County, Tennessee, whose town limits also cross into neighboring Hamblen County at Interstate 81's Exit 8.

European settlers arrived in the area in the 1780s, and the community was first known as Dandridge Crossing for its proximity to Dandridge, the Jefferson County seat.

The town was founded in 1870 as railroad and stagecoach routes crossed in the area, and in 1873 it was renamed White Pine for a large pine tree that once stood along Main Street.

White Pine was first incorporated in 1893, but after a 1905 fire destroyed much of downtown and the town charter lapsed, it incorporated again in 1915 following the rebuilding of its business district.

The 2020 census counted 2,471 residents in White Pine, up from 2,196 in 2010.

White Pine is part of the Morristown metropolitan area and lies about 40 miles east of Knoxville.

The town has two Interstate 81 interchanges, Exits 4 and 8, and the highway's completion shifted much of White Pine's commerce from downtown out to the interstate exits.
