Obion County, Tennessee
Obion County is way up in the northwest corner of Tennessee, right on the Kentucky border. It’s a friendly place. The kind where strangers wave as they pass on the street.
Reelfoot Lake is partly in the county in the northwest. The lake was formed by earthquakes back in the 1800s. The county has some quirky claims to fame. Like the world’s biggest fish fry in Reelfoot Lake. Yep, you read that right.
Union City is the county seat. It has this cool discovery park. Dinosaurs, earthquakes, all sorts of neat stuff. Agriculture thrives here, with corn, soybeans, and wheat as major crops.
