Hustburg is an unincorporated community in Humphreys County, Tennessee.[1] Hustburg Creek passes through the area.

Overview

U.S. Senator from Arkansas Hattie Caraway grew up in Hustburg and attended its Ebenezer Church where she sang. She attended a one-room school house that may have been affiliated with the church before attending Dickson Normal School.[2] More recent accounts state she went to "Ebenezer College" which seems a stretch.

Tribble High School served the community before it closed. Hustburg has had an Ebenezer Methodist Church.[3][4][5]

In 1939 TVA released a report on the "readjustment problem" in Hustburg.[6]

Hustburg is near where the Duck River meets the Tennessee River. A study using mosquito traps included Hustburg.[7] Corn has been grown in the area known for its alluvial soil and as part of what's known as the "Big Bottom".
