Tennessee Valley Authority  

Definition(s)

  • Established in May 1933 during the first 100 days of the New Deal, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was intended to revitalize and transform one of America's poorest regions. By the end of the 1990s, the TVA provided power to roughly 8.3 million people in an 80,000-square-mile area that includes the state of Tennessee and parts of Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.
