Summary
| Description |
English: The now-submerged site of Zimmerman's Island, looking east from the Douglas Dam boat ramp in Sevier County, Tennessee, in the southeastern United States. The county line crosses the lake, and the island itself was entirely in Jefferson County. Zimmerman's Island is believed to have been the location of the capital of the ancient chiefdom of Chiaha, visited by Spanish explorers Hernando De Soto in 1540 and Juan Pardo in 1567. A fortified village on the island was called "Chiaha" by De Soto and "Olamico" by Juan Pardo. The island was completely submerged by the completion of Douglas Dam in 1943.
English Mountain, the highest of the Foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, spans the horizon. |
