Monteagle, Mountain town in Franklin County, Tennessee, US
Monteagle extends across three counties at an elevation of 586 meters on the Cumberland Plateau between Chattanooga and Nashville, intersected by Interstate 24.
The settlement, established in 1870 by John Moffat under the name Moffat Station, served as a crossing point for Cherokee groups during the Trail of Tears in 1838.
The Monteagle Sunday School Assembly, founded in 1882, continues to function as an educational center for religious studies and community gatherings.
Municipal services operate from Monday through Friday at City Hall, where residents gather monthly for town meetings to discuss local governance and community matters.
The Highlander Folk School, which operated in Monteagle from 1932 to 1961, provided workshops for civil rights activists including Rosa Parks before the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
