In 1818, a final treaty was signed with the Native American tribes in the area, bringing white settlers from East Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1825, the town of Dyersburg was laid out and quickly began to thrive. By 1911, the present courthouse was completed, anchoring a classic Southern town square that now belongs to the \u003ci\u003eNational Register of Historic Places\u003c\/i\u003e. Just a few months before the historic crash of the stock market in 1929, Dyersburg became the site of a cotton mill transplanted from Oswego, New York. Nearby, the mill built about 100 small houses for its workers, and this neighborhood became \u003ci\u003eMilltown\u003c\/i\u003e, a name that still shines in residents' memories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eDyer County Historical Society\u003c\/i\u003ehas offered the best of its photo collection, along with images from the \u003ci\u003eTennessee State Library and Archives\u003c\/i\u003e, for \u003ci\u003eImages of America: Dyersburg\u003c\/i\u003e.
