Community

• Originally inhabited by the Chickasaw Indian Tribe, the first settlers started moving into this area during the early 1800s.
• The town of McKenzie was organized in 1867, when the Nashville and North-western Railroad completed its track and intersected with the Memphis and Ohio Railroad.
• The town's name was derived from the family who previously owned the land where the railroads crossed.
• James Monroe McKenzie gave the property to the railroad.
• The town began to develop rapidly after the tracks were completed and was officially incorporated by the state of Tennessee on January 22, 1869
• McKenzie is located in an outdoor enthusiast's paradise.
