Swallow Bluff Island is a river island on the Tennessee River in the U.S. state of Tennessee.[1] The island is 69 acres (28 ha) in size.[2] The island was named for the swallows which congregated there.[3]
Swallow Bluff Island contains the ancient Swallow Bluff Island Mounds.[4] The state of Tennessee sued a developer who in 1999 razed parts of the island for new home construction, damaging the mound in the process.[2]
