Dandridge, Historic county seat in Jefferson County, Tennessee.
The town center of Dandridge sits below Douglas Lake's water level, protected by a substantial stone levee that maintains its structural integrity.
European settlers established Dandridge in 1783, making it the second oldest settlement in Tennessee after Jonesborough in Washington County.
Dandridge received its name from Martha Dandridge Washington, the wife of President George Washington, making it a connection to early American history.
Located near the intersection of Interstate 40 and Interstate 81, Dandridge provides direct access to Knoxville, Pigeon Forge, and the Great Smoky Mountains.
Three United States presidents - Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Andrew Johnson - stayed at the Shepard's Inn during their respective terms.
