Iron City takes its name from the iron-ore furnaces that operated there after the railroad reached the county in 1883.<\/p>\n ZIP Codes<\/h2>\nUnincorporated hamlets without their own post office share the ZIP of the nearest listed town, most often Lawrenceburg’s 38464.<\/p>\n Geography<\/h2>\nLawrence County sits in the Highland Rim region of southwestern Middle Tennessee, a mix of rolling farmland and wooded ridges drained by Shoal Creek and Buffalo River tributaries. The Natchez Trace Parkway crosses the county’s eastern edge. Of the county’s 617 square miles, 0.9 square miles is water.<\/p>\n Lawrence County borders Lewis County<\/a> to the north, Maury County<\/a> to the northeast, Giles County<\/a> to the east, Wayne County<\/a> to the west, and the Alabama state line \u2014 Lauderdale and Colbert counties \u2014 to the south.<\/p>\n Lawrence County had 44,159 residents at the 2020 census, a density of roughly 72 people per square mile. Lawrenceburg, the county seat, is the largest community with 11,633 residents; Loretto is the county’s second city. Lawrence County’s median household income runs below the Tennessee median of $67,631, consistent with its largely rural, agricultural economic base.<\/p>\n Manufacturing has anchored Lawrenceburg’s economy since the Murray Ohio Manufacturing Company (bicycles and outdoor power equipment) built one of the nation’s largest bicycle plants there after World War II. Agriculture \u2014 cattle, soybeans, and the Amish farms around Ethridge \u2014 remains central to the rest of the county. David Crockett State Park, on the edge of Lawrenceburg, draws visitors to the site of Davy Crockett’s early gunpowder mill.<\/p>\n Lawrence County was organized on October 21, 1817, and named for Captain James Lawrence, the U.S. Navy officer known for the order “Don’t give up the ship” during the War of 1812. Davy Crockett was an early resident and civic official, operating a powder mill on Shoal Creek before he left for Texas. German Catholic immigrants settled around St. Joseph in the 1870s, and the arrival of the railroad in 1883 spurred an iron-ore mining boom around Iron City. Lawrenceburg suffered a severe flood in 1998 that led to a decade-long flood-control project.<\/p>\n U.S. Routes 43 and 64 cross at Lawrenceburg, earning it the nickname “Crossroads of Dixie”; Tennessee Routes 20, 98, 227, 240, 241 and 242 fan out through the rest of the county.<\/p>\n The nearest commercial airport is Nashville International Airport, about 80 miles northeast.<\/p>\n Where is Lawrence County, Tennessee?<\/strong> What is the population of Lawrence County?<\/strong> How big is Lawrence County?<\/strong> What is the county seat of Lawrence County?<\/strong> How many towns are in Lawrence County?<\/strong> |
