Auburntown History

The community we now know as Auburntown originally went by Poplar Stand in the early 1800s. It was renamed Auburn shortly afterward, taking its name from Auburn, New York.

However, by the early 20th century, Tennessee had multiple towns named Auburn, which caused confusion for postal routing. When the local post office was established in 1919, the name was officially changed to Auburntown to distinguish it from the others. The town was later incorporated in 1949, but the name Auburntown had already been in use for 30 years by then.
