La Grange, Tennessee. La Grange is the oldest town in Fayette County, Tennessee, originally being a Chickasaw Indian village. At one point it was quite a trading post for the Indians, who would visit the town regularly to dispose of their game. Today, La Grange is a rural community that is home to 2,413 people. Situated on a high bluff overlooking north Mississippi, La Grange lies 50 miles east of Memphis and 3 miles north of the Mississippi state line.

La Grange was laid out on the southern end and was surveyed in 1822 for the heirs of William Rains who were all non-residents of Tennessee. According to Court Minutes, in October 1827, the Rains' heirs petitioned for a division of this tract of land. Following the division, Samuel B. Harper acquired 167 acres on the southern part of the tract. La Grange was started on Harper's acreage and he has been credited with laying out the town and basing the layout on Philadelphia, PA. That was the beginning that started it all.

LaGrange, Tennessee, has the beginning of the Ghost River section of the Wolf River. This is the largest protected area of wilderness on the river. Flowing north from Mississippi through Fayette and Shelby Counties toward the Mississippi River, the Wolf River provides a natural wilderness area for outdoor lovers.
