Alamo, Tennessee
Population: 2,392
Located in Crockett County
Alamo began in 1847 when Isaac M. Johnson and Lycurgus Cage opened a store at the town site. The town was called "Cageville," incorporated in 1855. By 1872, Lycurgus Cage had left the area and the county was being formed. Isaac Johnson was a fan of Davey Crockett and "The Alamo" so, the town was renamed to honor Davy Crockett's heroism at the Alamo in Texas. It became the county seat in 1873. The courthouse originally had a bell-tower which was removed many years ago.
