"A more concrete sign of this optimism came that same year when, on November
30, 1825, property owners incorporated the town and selected a mayor and a
board of aldermen. For the next generation, Lawrenceburg grew, but
remained a quiet small rural trade center. Eastin Morris' 1834 Tennessee
Gazetteer, for example, listed no commercial activities in the town. But
prospects began to change in the late 1840s. During 1847, the Columbia and
Waynesboro Turnpike was completed through Lawrenceburg, helping to end its relative commercial isolation. The town also established a telegraph link
to Columbia. The next year, the town's first bank, the Lawrenceburg Bank
of Tennessee, was incorporated." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
