Fair History
The Gibson County Fair was organized through the
Legislative Act of 1855, which encouraged every county in
Tennessee to hold agricultural fairs in the fall of each year.
Our first fair was held in October of 1856, and had no Ferris
Wheels or Polish Sausages, but included entries of yokes of
oxen, barrels of flour, and homespun cotton and clothing.
Our fair was not held during the Civil War and first years of
Reconstruction but started again in 1869 and has not missed
a year since, making Gibson County's the oldest continuously
running fair in the South.
