Montgomery County’s political shift: Democrats gain, GOP holds

As United States voters watched states flip from red to blue in what's been named the 'blue wave,' Tennesseans saw five counties flip in the governor's race. The state also flipped a state House seat and narrowed the Republican advantage in a U.S. House contest. Montgomery County was one of the five counties that reported a democratic majority in the governor's race, flipped the state House seat and closed the gap on a federal House seat. Although Republicans still hold a supermajority in Tennessee, the Nov. 3 election showed that the state might be bluer than some people realized. Montgomery County’s election results offered Democrats a breakthrough on Nov. 3, but it was not a clean sweep. This is how Montgomery County's political landscape has changed in the last decade. Governor votes In the last decade, Tennessee gubernatorial candidates could plan to see a red turnout as Republican candidates held the county with a majority, the lowest at least 53% in 16 years. Former Gov. Bill Haslam won the county with 61.75% of the vote in 2010 and 69.32% in 2014. During Gov. Bill Lee's first election in 2018, he won the county with 53.96% of the vote as compared

Thousands Of Twinkling Lights Make This Tennessee Drive-Thru Holiday Experience Worth The Trip

A waterpark that spends its winters glowing with Christmas lights? That swap alone made me curious. Swimsuits are out, and synchronized holiday music is in. The whole show plays through your car radio. Headlights go off, the car rolls slowly, and the displays flash right on cue with the songs. I like how nobody has to brave the cold to see every light from every seat.

Byhalia, Marshall County: Chickasaw Crossroads, Civil War, Railroads, and Historic Church Street

Appalachian Community Histories – Byhalia, Marshall County: Chickasaw Crossroads, Civil War, Railroads, and Historic Church Street. In northern Mississippi, not far from the Tennessee state line, the town of Byhalia developed around a crossroads that had carried travelers long before the first American settlers established permanent homes there. Located in Marshall County, the community grew from a small settlement surrounded by fertile farmland into a center of commerce, religion, and education. Its history reflects nearly two centuries of change in the American South, including the displacement of the Chickasaw people, the expansion of cotton agriculture and slavery, the destruction of the Civil War, the arrival of the railroad, and the struggles of African American residents seeking education and opportunity under segregation.
