Monteagle is a town in Franklin, Grundy, and Marion counties in the U.S. state of Tennessee, in the Cumberland Plateau region of the southeastern part of the state. The population was 1,238 at the 2000 census - 804 of the town's 1,238 residents (64.9%) lived in Grundy County, 428 (34.6%) in Marion County, and 6 (0.5%) in Franklin County.

The Marion County portion of Monteagle is part of the Chattanooga, TN - GA Metropolitan Statistical Area, while the Franklin County portion is part of the Tullahoma, TN Micropolitan Statistical Area.

Monteagle is most famous for the treacherous stretch of Interstate 24 that passes through the town. It is here that the highway passes over what is colloquially referred to as "The Monteagle" or "Monteagle Mountain", a section of the southern Cumberland Plateau which is a major landmark on the road between Chattanooga and Nashville. The interstate regularly shuts down in inclement weather, routing traffic onto U.S. Highway 41. In the Jerry Reed song "The Legend", which is the opening track in the film Smokey and the Bandit, Reed tells the story of the Bandit miraculously surviving brake failure on the "Monteagle Grade." There is also a song called "Monteagle Mountain" by Johnny Cash on the album Boom Chicka Boom.

The town is home to the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly. The Highlander Folk School, long involved in the labor and civil rights movements, was located here from 1932 to 1961. Rosa Parks attended workshops there shortly before the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

4.30 min. | 5.0 user rating		 This video was produced in 2004 by students at St. Andrew's - Sewanee School in Sewanee, TN. Mr. Dean's civil rights class studied the Highlander Folk School and produced a video documentary about its history. The school was located near Monteagle, TN (a few miles from the school) and played an important part in the nation's early civil rights movement (hosting Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Pete Seger, among others). The class interviewed Scott Bates. Mr. Bates was a professor at the University of the South and became involved with Highlander in 1954. He was able to provide wonderful insight because of his long and intimate involvement with Highlander. Although the school was closed by the State of Tennessee in the early 1960s, he remains on the board of directors of Highlander Research and Education Center, an organization formed after the folk school was closed. Myles Horton founded the Highlander Folk School in Monteagle in 1932. Learn more about St. Andrew's - Sewanee School at www.sasweb.org
