  Title: Guntersville Dam

It is one of nine dams on the river owned and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority, which built the dam in the late 1930s as part of a New Deal era initiative to create a continuous navigation channel on the entire length of the river and bring flood control and economic development to the region.

  Title: Downtown Guntersville Historic District
  Passage: The Downtown Guntersville Historic District is a historic district in Guntersville, Alabama.  The district includes most of the central business district of Guntersville, as well as some houses.  The town was founded in the 1820s as a port on the Tennessee River.  Most of the town was destroyed during the Civil War, although the Henry-Jordan House was spared.  The business district began to rebuild after the war, and development was spurred in the late 19th and early 20th century by the Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis Railway and by manufacturing firms.  The opening of Guntersville Dam by the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1939 turned Guntersville into a peninsula, and created tourism and recreation opportunities on the new lake.  Many commercial buildings were constructed after World War II until 1964, in contrast to many small-town downtown areas.  Popular architectural styles from the time are represented, including elaborately decorated Victorian, simpler commercial brick styles, and post-war streamlined styles.  Notable contributing properties in the district are the Albert G. Henry, Jr., House, the Henry-Jordan House, and the Guntersville Post Office, all of which are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  The district was listed on the National Register in 2012.
  Title: Tennessee River
  Passage: The Tennessee River is the largest tributary of the Ohio River.  It is approximately 652 mi long and is located in the southeastern United States in the Tennessee Valley.  The river was once popularly known as the Cherokee River, among other names, as many of the Cherokee had their territory along its banks, especially in eastern Tennessee and northern Alabama.  Its current name is derived from the Cherokee village "Tanasi".
