White Pine History
White Pine, Tennessee, once known as “Dandridge Crossing,” is located in the eastern end of Jefferson County, Tennessee. It is flanked by the French Broad River on the south and Long Creek on the north.
Pioneers looking for land chose this area for a new beginning. The agricultural area grew slowly until the construction of the railroad; then a town came into existence.
This small rural village has had its share of prosperity and disaster, especially fires; but it has continued to grow and today boasts a population of around 2,000.
