Haywood County, County administration center in Brownsville, Tennessee.
The 534 square mile county stretches across western Tennessee with fertile soil supporting extensive agricultural activities and cotton production.
The Tennessee General Assembly established Haywood County in 1823, naming it after Judge John Haywood and designating Brownsville as the county seat.
The county maintains a strong connection to African-American heritage, as one of only two Tennessee counties with a majority Black population.
The region contains multiple public schools, government services, and agricultural facilities, with a new Ford electric vehicle plant scheduled for 2025.
Blues musician Sleepy John Estes and singer Tina Turner, who wrote Nutbush City Limits about her hometown, originated from this Tennessee county.
