Obion County, in the NW corner of Tennessee in the western grand division of the state, was created in 1823 from Indian lands and is named for the Obion River, chief watercourse of the area; the origin of the name is obscure: possibly an Indian word meaning "many prongs" or the name of a French-Irish explorer. The present county seat is Union City. The first county seat was Troy. |
The three stars on the TN flag represent the three different land forms in Tennessee. Mountains in the east, highlands in the middle and lowlands in the west. On the flag these regions are bound together in an unbroken circle. The field is crimson with a blue background for the stars. The final blue strip relieves the sameness of the crimson field and prevents the flag from showing too much crimson when it is limp.

Folks, due to illness since last fall, it has been impossible to get the contact name on each and every page changed. There are hundreds of pages and I have to go through them, one by one. It may still be a little while until this is accomplished- Jane Powell was the PREVIOUS coordinator However, Please return here and use this Email only until I can get them all changed or you go to a CONTACT PAGE with the proper contact name and email listed
I think all email names and links have been changed now
,but some have probably been missed
but if you find Jane Powell as the contact on one,
please do not use it.
return to another page and use the Contact or
Betty Brooks link to email me.
This page was revised for a lady who preferred the separate cells to an outline type alphabetizing of categories. We strive to please.
