Cherokee is the tenth major hydro project authorized for construction of the Tennessee Valley Authority and the seventh to be completed. The dam is located at mile 52.3 on the Holston River which unites with the French Broad River just above Knoxville to form the Tennessee River. This main tributary project was the first of several TVA dams authorized under World War II emergency program and constructed on an emergency basis. Although operated primarily for power during the war emergency, Cherokee forms an integral unit in the overall system of water control projects in the Tennessee Valley, and under normal multiple purpose operation aids in reducing main-river flood stages and in stabilizing low water flows.
