Monteagle is committed to being Lead Safe -UPDATE

The TN Department of Environment and Conservation requires every water utility in TN to do a Lead Service Line Inventory.

The Town and their consultant, LJA Engineering, have completed service line inventory for 97% of the entire water system and have, so far found no lead pipes.

The remaining 3% of inspections will be performed in the next two weeks which will bring an end to the inventory.

TOWN OF MONTEAGLE

HISTORY

Monteagle, the gateway to the Cumberlan Plateau, first called Moffat Station, was founded by John Moffat, an organizer in the temperance movement. In 1870 Moffat purchased the 1,146 acres of forest land on the Cumberland Plateau that became Monteagle. In 1882 the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly incorporated to promote the “advancement of science, literary attainment, Sunday school interest and promotion of the broadest popular culture in the interest of Christianity without regard to sect or denomination.” Andrew Nelson Lytle, the Vanderbilt Agrarian, did much of his writing at Monteagle, including his biography of Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Gateway to the Cumberland Plateau

So much to do and see!

Tucked away off of I-24 between Chattanooga and Murfreesboro lies a small dot on the Tennessee map. Monteagle, Tennessee, perches on the Cumberland Plateau, a beautiful stretch of elevated land at the base of the Appalachian Mountains.

While Monteagle has had several historical moments, the town has slowly grown into the charming place it is today. Monteagle now welcomes small businesses and restaurants and offers beautiful sight-seeing available to tourists and locals alike. So, buckle your seat belts, queue up Johnny Cash’s “Monteagle Mountain,” and enjoy the quaint and charming mountaintop town of Monteagle, Tennessee.
