About Gleason

Known affectionately across northwest Tennessee as "Tater Town," Gleason is a quiet, close-knit community in Weakley County with plenty of rural charm. Every autumn, the town celebrates its agricultural roots with the annual Tater Town Special, bringing neighbors together for parades, cookouts, and local entertainment. Daily life often centers around Gleason School, which houses kindergarten through twelfth grade on one campus and serves as the town's main gathering place for Friday night sports and school events.

Music fans might also know Gleason as the hometown of Gordon Stoker, the longtime tenor for the Jordanaires who famously sang backup for Elvis Presley. With around 1,400 residents, the town offers a friendly, unhurried pace surrounded by scenic farmland. It provides a peaceful country setting where people still know their neighbors, while keeping you just a short drive from shopping, healthcare, and dining in nearby Martin.
