Lake formed by damming up the Obey River

Dale Hollow lies mainly in Northern Tennessee
Small arms of the lake extend into Kentucky
Lake takes its name from William Dale, a veteran of the War of 1812
Originally settled in Willow Grove, Mr. Dale bought his first 449 acres of land in 1808
His farm grew into a plantation known as Dale Hollow where he and his descendants lived until the dam was started in 1942
The waters of the lake would eventually cover both the farm and Willow Grove, “the town that drowned” (www.wikipedia.org)
