ROBERTSVILLE, TENNESSEE
'Robertsville' was a farming community located in Anderson County, Tennessee.
It was established in 1804 by a merchant named Collins Roberts, who received a land grant. Notable residents include Swiss-German immigrant Henry Seinknecht, a Confederate Army physician who practiced medicine in Robertsville after the Civil War. The community continued to exist until 1942, when the United States government acquired the land as a part of the Manhattan Project. The residents of Robertsville were displaced, along with the residents of several other communities. Robertsville is now part of the city of Oak Ridge.
The present Robertsville Middle School is located on the land where the old Robertsville High School once stood. Collins Roberts is buried in the Robertsville Baptist Cemetery.
