The Cumberland Homesteads came into existence during the Great Depression when the federal government’s Subsistence Homestead Division initiated a housing project south of Crossville. The purpose of this project was to provide small farms for several hundred poverty-stricken families. As a result, the project’s recreational area later became the center and basis for the Cumberland Mountain State Park.
