history
After it was founded in 1817, the then nameless city was given the name Jackson by its first inhabitants, based on Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson was a national hero who gained notoriety after defeating the British at the Battle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815. He was elected President of the United States in the 1828 election. The village of Jackson grew slowly and in 1840 had only 297 inhabitants. In 1846 Jackson included four churches, an estimated seven stores, and a single newspaper branch. The city grew rapidly over the next 40 years and had 3,021 inhabitants in 1880. Around 1880 two railroad lines ran through Jackson, which helped the city to economic growth and an increasing population. In 1886, Jackson enclosed another newspaper branch, eight churches and two bank branches. The largest companies here were the Star Furnace Company and the Globe Iron Company , which each consisted of 30 employees. Both companies used local coal and iron ore to make their products.
Jackson continued to grow throughout the 20th century . In 2000, Jackson was the largest city in Jackson Counties with a population of 6,184 and made up about 20% of the entire county's population. Today many locals find a job in a factory of the US food giant General Mills , near the neighboring town of Wellston ; more than 1000 people are employed in this plant.
Jackson in the media
