History
When the first European, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto and his men, walked through this area in 1540, the town was called "Chicasa" (Chickasaw). The Cherokee sold the area to the USA in 1806.
Upon moving from East Tennessee in the early 1800s, David Crockett established a powder mill in what is now known as David Crockett State Park. Crockett was elected as a commissioner and served on the board that placed Lawrenceburg four miles west of the geographic center of Lawrence County. Crockett was opposed to the city being located in its current location. He and his family lived in Lawrenceburg for several years before moving to West Tennessee after a flood destroyed his mill.
April 16, 1998 - Lawrence County experiences the first F5 tornado in Tennessee's history. A total of 10 tornadoes were confirmed across Middle Tennessee that day. There were 4 fatalities across the mid state, with 105 injuries. 2 fatalities were confirmed in Lawrence County. A 100 year flood struck Lawrenceburg on July 13, 1998 temporarily disabling the city's fresh water supply system. 2 people were killed during the flood.
In more recent history, Lawrenceburg played host to the homecoming of former senator turned actor and 2008 Presidential hopeful Fred Thompson. Nearly 10,000 people from across the country along with members of the national media were present in Downtown Lawrenceburg for the historic occasion.

Michael JeterMichael Jeter - Tony Award winning actor for Grand Hotel, who also had a memorable film role in The Green Mile.
Michael Jeter (August 26, 1952 – March 30, 2003) was an American actor of film, stage, and screen.
Early life
Jeter was born in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee to Virginia and William Jeter, a dentist. Jeter was a student at Memphis State University when his interests changed from medicine to acting. He pursued his initial stage career in Baltimore, Maryland, as he had heard it was hard to get work in New York without an equity card.
Career:
His woebegone look, extreme flexibility and high energy led Tommy Tune to cast him in the Off-Broadway Cloud 9 and, on Broadway, in a memorable role in the musical Grand Hotel, for which he won a Tony Award in 1990. Much of his film and television work specialized in playing eccentric, pretentious or wimpy characters like The Fisher King, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Drop Zone. Although occasionally, Jeter was able to stay away from these kinds of roles for more appealing characters like Jurassic Park III, Air Bud, The Green Mile and Open Range. He won an Emmy award in 1992 for his role in the television sitcom Evening Shade. He was also a favorite with younger audiences in his role as "Mr. Noodle's brother Mr. Noodle" on Sesame Street from 2000 to 2003. The movies The Polar Express and Open Range are dedicated to his memory.

LawrenceburgLawrence County was created October 21, 1817, by an act of the Tennessee General Assembly from mostly Indian Territory as a result of the Treaty of 1816 with the Chickasaw Indians.
The county seat, Lawrenceburg, was chosen in 1819 because of its proximity to the center of the county and the fact that Jackson's Military Road ran on the eastern edge of the town. In April, 1821, the road was changed to go through the center of the town.
This road was a major thoroughfare from Natchez, Mississippi, to Nashville, Tennessee, and has played a significant role in the development of the county. The county and county seat were both named in honor of Captain James Lawrence, U.S. Naval hero of the War of 1812.
One of the first commissioners and justices of the peace from Lawrence County was David Crockett. He ran a water-powered grist mill, powder mill and distillery in the area of the county that is now David Crockett State Park.
Although he was only here for four or five years, David Crockett had a tremendous impact on the county and is a main attraction for tourists.
In addition to the county seat of Lawrenceburg, other primary communities are presently Summertown, Henryville, Ethridge, Leoma, Loretto, St. Joe, West Point, and Iron City. Most of these were once major towns and their existence came about either because of Jackson's Military Road or due to iron ore mining.

Milling Museum
Welcome! David Crockett Park:
David Crockett, pioneer, soldier, politician, and industrialist, was born near the little town of Limestone in northeast Tennessee in 1786. In 1817, he moved to Lawrence County and served as a justice of the peace, a colonel of the militia and as a state representative. Along the bank of Shoal Creek, in what is now his namesake park, he established a diversified industry consisting of a powdermill, a gristmill, and a distillery. All three operations were washed away in a flood September, 1821. Financial difficulties from this loss caused Crockett to move to West Tennessee where he was elected to Congress. While in Washington, he fought for his people's right to keep land they had settled on the new frontier of West Tennessee. Crockett died at the Alamo Mission in March of 1836 while aiding the Texans in their fight for independence from Mexico.
Dedicated in May, 1959, in honor of one of Tennessee's most famous native sons, David Crockett State Park is located on US Highway 64 in Lawrence County, one-half mile west of the city of Lawrenceburg.
