The Chickasaw lived in the area when Europeans arrived and were pushed out under treaties with the United States, including removals authorized by the Indian Removal Act of 1830. European American settlement began along the Forked Deer River before 1820, mostly by migrants from Virginia, Kentucky and other parts of the Upper South. An 1821 act of the Tennessee General Assembly established a seat of justice for Henry, Carroll, Henderson and Madison counties, and the commissioners, Sterling Brewer and James Fentress, chose Jackson over Alexandria and Golden's Station because it was closest to the many settlers on Cotton Grove Road. First called Alexandria, the town was renamed in 1822 for General Andrew Jackson, hero of the War of 1812 and later president.
When the Tennessee Supreme Court was created under the state constitution of 1834, Memphis had not yet developed, and Jackson, then the most important city in West Tennessee, was made a seat of the court for that part of the state. The area was developed for cotton plantations worked by thousands of enslaved people, and Jackson became the trading and retail center for the surrounding farms. From 1852 on, its growth as a hub of several railroads drove its industry and population for a century. Union forces occupied Tennessee in 1862. Between December 11, 1862, and January 1, 1863, Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest's cavalry raided West Tennessee to cut the Mobile and Ohio Railroad through Jackson, which supplied General Ulysses S. Grant's army, and fought an engagement at Jackson. Sources Wikipedia: Jackson, Tennessee
