Braden, Union County, Tennessee facts for kids

Braden is a small, quiet place in northern Union County, Tennessee. It's known as an unincorporated community, which means it doesn't have its own local government like a town or city does. Instead, it's part of the larger county.

Braden is a rural area, meaning it's mostly countryside with farms and open spaces. What makes Braden special is how it's separated from the rest of Union County. A large body of water from Norris Lake cuts it off. Because of this, people can only reach Braden in two main ways: by taking a ferry across the lake or by driving a long way around through Claiborne County. This makes Braden feel quite isolated and peaceful.

Where Did Braden Get Its Name?

The community of Braden was named after the Braden family. They were early settlers who came to this area and helped establish the community long ago.
