| David
Crockett was a pioneer, soldier, politician, industrialist and 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 state representative. Along the banks 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
in |
|
|
|
|
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 of 1959, in honor of one of Tennessee's most famous native sons,
David Crockett State Park is located on U.S. Highway 64 in Lawrence County, one-half
mile west of the City of Lawrenceburg.
