Henderson County is located in the heart of West
Tennessee midway between Nashville and Memphis, Chicago and New
Orleans, St. Louis and Atlanta. Its 526 square miles of prosperous
farms, lush hardwood forests and inviting lakes are places of natural
beauty. In addition, the county - including its four incorporated
communities of Lexington, Parker's Crossroads, Sardis and Scotts Hill
- has become an area of growing economic opportunity for the 25,000
Tennes-seans who live here. People looking for a better place to
settle have placed their roots in Henderson County.
