You can plan your history trip to this city since it was involved in the American Civil War. Even the name is historic- originally christened Alexandria, the name underwent change to honor the then General Andrew Jackson who later became the seventh President of the United sates of America. First establishments date as far back as the early nineteenth century at the Forked Deer River. The city was properly established when it was decided that land be deeded to the commissioners- Sterling Brewers and James Fentress. The places under consideration were Golden's Station, Alexandria and Jackson. The General Assembly in 1821 passed a resolution granting the City of Jackson to the commissioners. Since most of the settlements were near Jackson so the city was thought to be apt for the establishment of a seat of legislature. It was also chosen as the city for the Supreme Court since it was the only significant city at the time in the vicinity.

Jackson city, Tennessee was a place of happening in the American Civil War. Brigadier General Nathan Bedford Forrest wanted to cut off the railway tracks running through Jackson city since they were the source of all supplies to the Union Forces. Consequently, Forrest sent an expedition to fight Ulysses S. Grant's army. Grant ordered a military concentration at Jackson and sent an expedition to meet Forrest's expedition headed by Brigadier General Jeremiah C. Sullivan. The two armies met at Lexington and Forrest's army came out victorious. As Forrest's army advanced, Jeremiah sent a small force lead by Adolph Englemann to bank northeast of Jackson city. Englemann's army met a Confederate army at Old Salem, won, and advanced towards town. This however was only a diversion by Forrest who in the meanwhile destroyed the railway tracks running through Jackson city and then retreated and headed towards Trenton and Humboldt.

Before 1989, the city had a commissioner form of government. However later, on the basis that this diluted the voting powers of the African American, the form of government was changed to the district government mode.
