    • Crockett County-West Tennessee's Best Kept Secret

Crockett Mills

Crockett Mills was heavily influenced by founder J.F. Robertson. In 1867, he built a general store which became the start of the town. It was originally named Robertsonville; however, when they applied for a post office, it was discovered that there was already a Robertsonville Post Office in Tennessee.

Because the town had a saw mill, flour mill and handle mill, "Crockett Mills" seemed an appropriate new name.

Mr. Robertson was well known as a generous gentleman of Crockett County. One of his many businesses was the rolling flour mill, which ground a great deal of wheat. The two brands produced were "White Satin" and "The Belle of Crockett."

J.C. Hamlett was a partner in the Robertson & Hamlett Store, which was at the heart of Crockett Mills. He was also known as a valuable member of the community.

The school at Crockett Mills was named after Mr. Robertson and Mr. Hamlett. Today it serves as the Crockett Mills Community Center

Today Crockett Mills is a friendly and well-kept community. In addition to a number of active businesses, it has its own ballfield, saddle club, bank and post office.

Working together, its citizens have turned the old school into a community center which is used by people from all over the county.

The West Tennessee Cotton Festival is held here each August to raise money for the community center. The fair draws visitors from the county, Tennessee, and other states.
