Real Estate and Community Information

History 

The first people who lived near what is now the Estill Springs real estate market included Cherokee Indians who settled near the Elk River over 600 years ago. They lived in homes that overlooked several naturally occurring mineral springs.

The first American settlers arrived near Estill Springs during the early 1800s. Most of these settlers arrived after the Cherokees ceded their land to the United States.

The area remained isolated until the 1840s after Frank Estill's family donated several Estill Springs properties to a railroad company. The development of a railroad route near these properties encouraged many Tennessee residents to move to Estill Springs.

The demand for Estill Springs TN homes grew during the 1850s after health-conscious vacationers discovered the healing properties of the area's mineral springs. The discovery spurred the development of several spas in Estill Springs that played a large role in the area's economy until the 1930s.

The area's economy was revitalized during the 1940s after U.S Route 41-A was constructed. It continued to grow throughout the rest of the 20th century after the Tennessee Valley Authority constructed artificial lakes that overlooked several outdoor recreational sites.

Estill Springs homes for sale are situated nowadays in a friendly town that offers a stable living environment and many outdoor recreational activities. These benefits make purchasing real estate in Estill Springs worthwhile for anyone who wishes to relocate to Tennessee.
