Jackson is the commercial and medical center of West Tennessee, set along Interstate 40 roughly halfway between Memphis and Nashville. West Tennessee Healthcare, anchored by a large regional hospital, is its biggest employer, and manufacturing, distribution and agriculture fill out the economy. Union University and Lane College give the city an academic base, and the area’s railroad heritage lives on in the story of Casey Jones, the legendary engineer who lived here before his famous final run in 1900.
Jackson is about 90 minutes from either Memphis or Nashville by car, and McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport, just outside town, offers a much quicker way to reach plants, hospitals and offices in the region. Flying private also makes Jackson a convenient base for exploring West Tennessee. Visitors can tour Casey Jones Village, explore rockabilly’s roots in the city that helped shape Carl Perkins, and visit Pinson Mounds, one of the largest Middle Woodland mound complexes in the country. Shiloh National Military Park, one of the best-preserved Civil War battlefields, is about an hour south, and Chickasaw State Park offers lakes and pine forests to the southwest.
