Dandridge
Jefferson County · Douglas Lake · I-40
Tennessee's second-oldest town, sitting right on Douglas Lake.
About Dandridge
Dandridge is the seat of Jefferson County and one of the oldest towns in Tennessee, with a historic waterfront district that sits directly on Douglas Lake behind the earthen dike built to protect it when TVA impounded the reservoir.
Its combination of lake frontage, interstate access, and proximity to both Knoxville and the Smokies makes it one of the more actively traded small markets in the region.
