Appalachian History Series Setting the Scene On the South Fork Holston River just southeast of Bristol, Tennessee, the Tennessee Valley Authority built South Holston Dam to curb destructive flooding and to supply hydropower in the mid-twentieth century. The project impounded a long, slender reservoir that reaches about 24 miles into Virginia, and it became the upstream anchor of TVA's Holston River system.
