About Hornsby

Hornsby is a quiet, close-knit community tucked along U.S. 64 in southwest Tennessee, sitting just east of Bolivar near the Little Hatchie River. The town traces its roots back to the early 1800s, when it started as a riverside mill and stagecoach stop before growing into the friendly farming crossroads it is today. For newcomers, it offers wide-open countryside, scenic green spaces, and a classic small-town feel.

Daily life here is peaceful and centered around local community ties and Hornsby Elementary School. The area is also known for its historic artesian wells, where you can still stop by and taste the cool spring water that has flowed for generations. With Highway 64 making it an easy drive to everyday shopping and healthcare in nearby Bolivar or Selmer, Hornsby is an appealing option for anyone looking to settle into rural West Tennessee.
