Description
Whitlock Tennesseans have throughout history elected to stay unincorporated, chosen not to be governed by surrounding larger towns and local municipal corporations. This small communities’ history has been traced back to the 1770s when a young Irishman William Young was granted land for enlisting in the Revolutionary War. One-hundred years later, railroads were being constructed Within the region from Kentucky into Tennessee, which ultimately led to settlements near train depots built along the L&N Railway system, as it provided easy access to quicker transportation, allowing individuals to travel and farmers crops to be transported to market in Paris, TN, and surrounding markets. Discover how Whitlock continued to come in to its own in the early 1900s by way of economic advancements via the Tennessee-Kentucky Clay Company, Whitlock Flour Mill Co., etc. Through the years, it continued to remain viable until the late 1900s. Today, it resembles a shadow of a town, but to those who live there, it is appreciated for rich, sustained history.
