24/7 Biohazard and Crime Scene Cleanup in Lawrenceburg, TN

Lawrenceburg is a city in and the county seat of Lawrence County, Tennessee, situated on the banks of Shoal Creek.

Lawrenceburg is the largest city along Tennessee's southern border between Chattanooga and Memphis.

Lawrenceburg was chosen as the county seat in 1819, shortly after Lawrence County was created in 1817, and the city was incorporated in 1825.

Both Lawrenceburg and Lawrence County are named for Captain James Lawrence, the War of 1812 naval officer famous for the command "Don't give up the ship."

Early resident David Crockett served as one of the county's first commissioners and justices of the peace, as a militia colonel, and as a state representative after moving to the area around 1817.

Crockett sat on the board that sited Lawrenceburg four miles west of the county's geographic center — a location he opposed, fearing floods — and a statue of Crockett now stands at the center of the town square.

Crockett operated a water-powered grist mill, powder mill, and distillery on Shoal Creek, then called the Sycamore River, where David Crockett State Park now stands; after a flood destroyed his mill, he moved on to West Tennessee.

In July 1998 a flood on Shoal Creek killed two people in Lawrenceburg, and the city afterward undertook a 10-year flood-control project that sharply reduced the flooding risk that had plagued it since Crockett's day.

The 2020 census counted 11,633 residents in Lawrenceburg, up 11.6 percent from 10,428 in 2010.

The 2020 census counted 4,836 households among Lawrenceburg's 5,221 housing units.
