Lauderdale County, County division in western Tennessee, United States
Lauderdale County encompasses 508 square miles along the Mississippi River, featuring agricultural lands and three major waterways: Mississippi, Forked Deer, and Hatchie Rivers.
The Tennessee General Assembly established the county in 1835 from parts of Tipton, Dyer, and Haywood Counties, naming it after Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale.
The Veterans Museum in Halls documents military history from World War I onward, including extensive materials from the Dyersburg Army Air Base.
The county seat of Ripley provides administrative services and educational facilities through the Lauderdale County School District for the region's 25,143 residents.
Some territories of the county, including Forked Deer Island, now stand on the western side of the Mississippi River due to geographical changes.
