History Once part of the Chickasaw Indians’ hunting grounds, West Tennessee was opened for settlement in 1818.

They named their city was renamed “Jackson” in honor of war hero and future U.S. President Andrew Jackson. One of Jackson’s earliest famous residents was Davy Crockett, the area’s U.S. Congressman. In one of his last speeches in the area, after losing his bid for re-election, Crockett left West Tennessee for Texas. Leaving was a fatal decision on Crockett’s part; he died defending the Alamo. Another famous resident was train engineer Casey Jones, who heroically stayed with his train and died in a wreck outside Vaughan, Mississippi. Casey’s house is now a popular tourist attraction in the Casey Jones Village, just south of Interstate 40 at U.S. 45 Bypass.
