Drive & Discover MonteagleDrive & Discover MonteagleHistory & HighlightsMonteagle’s settlement history began with a 5,000-acre land grant to John Bostick in 1792. In 1855, construction began on the Mountain Goat Railroad, extending first from Cowan to Sewanee, then through what would become Monteagle, and on to Tracy City. Figures like Al Capone and Andrew Lytle have connections here, alongside landmarks like the “Dixie Highway” and Monteagle Sunday School Assembly.
