Decaturville Cleanup and Restoration

Decaturville is a town in and the county seat of Decatur County, Tennessee, United States. The population was 867 at the 2010 census. It is named for American Revolutionary War Commodore Stephen Decatur, Jr. The county originally belonged, or was a part of Perry County, which was cut off of Hickman County in 1819, and named in honor of Col. Oliver Hazard Perry. Owing to the inconvenience of having to cross the river in attending court, it was determined to form a new county out of that portion lying west of the river. Mr. Brasher was largely instrumental in forming the new county. The act creating the county passed the General Assembly in November, 1845. It was to form a new county out of “that part of Perry lying west of the river, to be known and distinguished by the name of Decatur County, in honor and to perpetuate the memory of Col. Stephen Decatur, of the United States Navy, of whose services our nation should be proud and whose memory should be revered.”  The area as given by the assessors is 202,043 acres, valued at $645,750. This area seems to vary about 50% percent from that indicated by time boundaries. The committee to run the boundary line consisted of J. C. Barbrough, W.J. MeGee, J. S. Walker, Samuel Brasher and D. B. Funderburk. The county seat was selected by Samuel McLoed, Samuel Brasher, Balaam Jones and D.B. Funderburk on the lands of John McMillan from whom they obtained twenty-five acres, and ten acres was obtained from Burrrell Rushing, making thirty-five acres in all.
