When he was 11 years old, Farragut served in the War of 1812 under the command of his adoptive father. He received his first command in 1824, at the age of 21, and went on to participate in anti-piracy operations in the Caribbean Sea.
I recently moved to Farragut TN. I was curious about the name so I looked into and found that it was named for Admiral Farragut. He was instrumental in helping the North win the Civil War. He took ships of the US Navy up the Mississippi River and prevented the South from being resupplied. David Farragut was born in Campbell Station, which is a small town in Knoxville next to Farragut TN.
Thank you sir!
