Nestled within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Townsend and Gatlinburg, Cades Cove spans 6,800 acres of scenic beauty. With nearly two million visitors annually, it's among the most visited areas of any U.S. National Park.
A Journey Through History
Originally belonging to the Cherokee Nation until 1818, Cades Cove was settled by John and Lucretia Oliver later that same year. Initially, the Cherokee were friendly but tensions rose with the increasing number of settlers, leading to their eventual displacement, ironically spearheaded by John Oliver himself.
During the Civil War, the Cove faced challenges as most residents supported the Union and faced harassment from North Carolina Confederates. Post-war, as industries emerged nearby, residents began leaving Cades Cove. By 1926, it became part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The last inhabitant, Kermit Caughron, lived there until his death in 1999. Despite the historical value of his home, the National Park Service demolished it in 2001 to preserve the Cove's historical setting.
