Finger, TN

Sitting right on the McNairy and Chester county line in West Tennessee, Finger is a small, quiet community with an unforgettable name. First settled in the 1820s as McIntyre’s Crossing, local lore has it that the town earned its current name in 1895 when an argument over what to call the new post office ended with neighbors pointing fingers at each other. Today, with a population of just a few hundred, it offers peaceful country living along U.S. 45, putting residents within an easy drive of larger hubs like Henderson and Selmer for everyday errands, dining, and work.
