About Brownsville

Haywood County’s 11,000-person city of Brownsville is named after Jacob Jennings Brown, a War of 1812 officer. Agriculture is Brownsville’s leading industry, with cotton being the largest export, followed by soybeans and corn. The city’s location on the Hatchie River also yields a relatively extensive tourism market. Residents of a Brownsville house or apartment for rent can find jobs in town at a number of companies either based in or operating large factories in Brownsville. Best Metal Cabinets, Brownsville States Graphic, IFC Disposable, Dynametal Technologies, North Shore Manufacturing, and Palletsource, Inc. are the area’s largest employers. Big-box retailers like Wal-Mart and Lowes are also located in Brownsville, making the 64-mile drive into Memphis unnecessary on most occasions. However, for residents that do not work in Brownsville, the hour and 10 minute commute is within reasonable distance along the convenient I-40.

An interesting local attraction is “The Mindfield,” a conglomeration of ironworks and leftover steel that has been collected and pieced together by local artist Billy Tripp. Residents of an apartment or home rental in Brownsville enjoy participating in community events and activities such as Hatchie Fall Fest, Kids Day, Family Fest, and Summer Concert Series. Local attractions include Cotton Museum Room at the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center, Haywood County Museum, Ann Marks Performing Arts Center in the College Hill Complex, and a variety of historic homes and properties.
