Description
Excerpt from The Oak Ridge Story: The Saga of a People Who Share in History
Of the three major installations, Oak Ridge, Los Alamos and Hanford, which were built from scratch, including large communities to house atomic energy workers, Oak Ridge has a particularly fascinating and unique place in the modern day story of the atom; the Oak Ridge Area, which rose from what was once a sparsely-settled section in the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains in East Tennessee, has in truth come to be known as the Symbol of the Atomic Age.
