About Stanton
Stanton grew around a 19th-century railroad depot surrounded by Haywood County farmland. Back in the 1850s, residents and businesses from the nearby settlement of Wesley packed up and moved four miles down the road to be closer to the tracks, officially putting Stanton on the map. For generations since, it has remained a quiet, tight-knit country town with deep agricultural roots.
Big changes are underway today with the arrival of BlueOval City, Ford's massive 3,600-acre electric vehicle manufacturing plant just down the highway. The project is bringing a wave of new jobs, fresh housing developments, and expanded local services to the area. For anyone considering a move, Stanton offers the unique experience of a small historic community right at the center of one of West Tennessee's biggest economic booms.
