Kenton, TN

united states

Kenton, a town of 1,500 in northwest Tennessee's Gibson County, serves as an unlikely county seat with its 1898 courthouse anchoring the community. Located along State Route 5 about 25 miles from Union City, it connects to major travel routes via US Highway 45W and provides easy access to Jackson and Martin. The surrounding farmland and proximity to the South Fork Obion River create a quintessentially rural Tennessee setting.
