WELCOME!
Welcome to the official website of the City of Medon, Tennessee.
We invite you to visit us in person at Medon City Hall if you are in the West Tennessee area; our office hours are posted on the front door monthly.
Our town's name is pronounced "me done," supposedly proclaimed years back by an Irishman named Mike when he came home after a hard day's work!
The City of Medon was incorporated in 1852, and was once larger in size and population than the current county seat, Jackson. Medon's history includes being a successful stagecoach stop, a railroad depot, having endured many fires, and having a reputation for once being a well-known "moonshine" capital. Scenes from the original film "Walking Tall" were filmed just outside of Medon, and rockabilly musician Carl Perkins even used to rabbit hunt with Medon locals. Today Medon is a quiet community with an official population of 269 residents that is located about 8 miles south of Jackson on State Highway 18.
