Swallow Bluff Island Explained
Swallow Bluff Island is a river island on the Tennessee River in the U.S. state of Tennessee. The island is in size.[1] The island was named for the swallows which congregated there.[2]
Swallow Bluff Island contains the ancient Swallow Bluff Island Mounds.[3] The state of Tennessee sued a developer who in 1999 razed parts of the island for new home construction, damaging the mound in the process.
