An Admiral's Birthplace and a 1980 Vote
Captain David Campbell built a fort and stagecoach station here in 1787, and the brick Campbell's Station Inn of 1810 still stands on Kingston Pike within sight of Town Hall. The Battle of Campbell's Station was fought on November 16, 1863. After Knoxville voted in December 1979 to annex Interstate 40 right-of-way nearby, residents voted on January 16, 1980 to incorporate as a town, and Bob Leonard was elected the first mayor that April.

Why Farragut Renters Choose a Tennessee Clinician
Real clinical knowledge
Tennessee's rule asks for documentation from someone who knows the disability firsthand.
Your records stay private
A Knox County landlord can verify the letter, not obtain your protected medical records.
No certificate mills
Documents from websites that mainly sell certificates do not count as reliable documentation.
