Tipton County, Administrative county in southwestern Tennessee, United States.
Tipton County is an administrative county in southwestern Tennessee, extending westward to the Mississippi River with Covington as its county seat. The land contains varied terrain and communities shaped by its riverside location.
The county was established in 1823 from portions of an adjacent county and developed as a frontier region. During the Civil War, two military forts were constructed along the Mississippi River to defend the area's strategic position.
The local museum in Covington displays exhibits about regional heritage and houses collections of historical artifacts. A nature center on the same grounds helps visitors understand the ecosystems found in this part of Tennessee.
The county government offices in Covington serve as the main hub for local services and are easy to locate. The proximity to the Mississippi River offers various activity options for those visiting the area.
During earthquakes in the early 1800s, the river's course shifted so dramatically that it temporarily separated portions of the county from the rest of Tennessee. The ground movement from those events reshapes how people understand the landscape today.
