Reverie, Tennessee
Reverie is an unincorporated community in Tipton County, Tennessee, United States. In 2001, the population was 11.
Although occurring decades later, the landscape changes caused by the 1811–1812 New Madrid earthquakes over a period of about 24 hours on March 7, 1876, naturally and nearly spontaneously caused the Mississippi River to abandon its former channel that coincided with the Tennessee-Arkansas border, and establish a new channel east of Reverie. This places Reverie on the Arkansas side, while most of the area of Tipton County is located east of the Mississippi River, the Tennessee side. The formation of the new Centennial Cut-off, named for the US centennial, and the abandonment of the stretch of river formerly known as the Devil's Elbow, led to a 1918 Supreme Court case (Arkansas v. Tennessee) on whether the border should be moved with the river.
In 1900, a mastodon skeleton was discovered 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Reverie.
In the first half of the 20th century, archeological artifacts from an aboriginal village dated AD 1400-1650 were found about 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of Reverie, at the Nodena site.
According to the United States Census, in 2000 the total population of the Reverie voting precinct was 11. The entire population was non-Hispanic white at that time.
The state of Tennessee pays for the children in the population to attend schools in Arkansas.
Agriculture is the dominant source of income in the area surrounding Reverie, especially the cultivation of cotton.
After the abolition of slavery, sharecropping was the primary means of income for families in the area. Mostly for the cultivation of cotton, land would be used by sharecroppers in return for a share of the crop to the landowner.
