Waverly Cleanup and Restoration

After Benton County was created from Humphreys County in 1835, it was necessary to establish a county seat. A line of survey was run from Reynoldsburgh due east, and the mid way point was found to be on Blue Creek About two miles south of the present site of Waverly. At this point in history, the site of Waverly was shown on maps as Pavatts. Waverly offers the best in education, medical facilities and entertainment. Nashville State Community College has a campus located in our city. Our city offers small town living with big city goals and opportunities. Waverly was established by Steven Pavatt as a stop along the stagecoach road between Nashville and Memphis in the early 19th century. Pavatt was a fan of the author Sir Walter Scott, and named the community after Scott's Waverley Novels. When Humphreys County was created in 1803, Reynoldsburg, located northwest of Waverly along the Tennessee River, was chosen as the county seat. However, when county lands on the west bank of the Tennessee split off to become part of the newly created Benton County in 1835, the Humphreys County seat was moved to Waverly, which had become the more central location in the county. A courthouse was built in 1836, and the town was officially incorporated in 1838. SERVPRO has been serving the waverly area for a long time and will continue to help out the area with any Fire-Water damage they might be facing, that's why we are #1 in the area for people to call.
