GiftsIdeas by priceEvery Jackson design starts with the city: the rail lines that made it the Hub City, the old depot, the 731. Printed to order for you. Perfect for downtown regulars, Union grads, and anyone who moved away and misses it.
More cities are dropping soon.
Jackson sits right on I-40 between Memphis and Nashville, and that in-between spot is part of our personality. We're close enough to both big cities to visit, but we've got our own thing going on, from the Forked Deer River bottoms to the old rail yards that made this town.
Folks here grow up knowing the Casey Jones story before they know much else, and a Saturday can easily include the West Tennessee Farmers' Market, a walk downtown, and dinner at a buffet your grandparents ate at too. Union University, Lane College, and a growing medical community keep the city young and busy at the same time.
We've got a little bit of everything: rockabilly history, Southern food, minor league ball, and parks that still feel like the country even though downtown is five minutes away. If you're from here, you already know all this. If you're not, grab one of our Rep Your Town tees and we'll fill you in on the rest.
Jackson sits on land acquired from the Chickasaw by an 1818 treaty negotiated by Andrew Jackson. Settlers moved in fast, and Madison County was formed in 1821. The town was first called Alexandria, then renamed Jackson in 1822 to honor Andrew Jackson, who later became president.
The Forked Deer River made Jackson a natural trading crossroads, and the rich soil around it built a cotton economy. Rail arrived in 1857, and lines like the Illinois Central and Mobile and Ohio turned Jackson into a real commercial hub. That's where Casey Jones comes in. He was an Illinois Central engineer who died in a 1900 train collision and became the city's most famous name.
Jackson kept growing through the 20th century as a West Tennessee trade center, and the city's history is still visible downtown and at Casey Jones Village, which preserves his home and the old railroad story.
Jackson is known as the Hub City, a nod to all the highways and rail lines that have run through town since the 1800s.
Jackson uses area code 731, which is also the name of the city's big July celebration, 731 Day.
The town was first called Alexandria, then renamed Jackson in 1822 to honor Andrew Jackson, who had negotiated the treaty that opened West Tennessee to settlement.
Jackson is best known as the home of Casey Jones, the railroad engineer whose story is told at Casey Jones Village, and for its rockabilly music history.
Yes, Jackson sits on I-40 about 70 miles from Memphis and 130 miles from Nashville, so it works well as a stop between the two or a day-trip base.
Cypress Grove Nature Park, Middle Fork Bottoms State Park, and the Union University trail system all offer walking and hiking close to downtown.
