Kerrville is an unincorporated community on the northeast portion of Shelby County, Tennessee, United States.
Kerrville is located along about 3.5 miles to the north of Millington and just to the south of the Tipton County line, along with Atoka and Munford city limits.
It is named for Andrew Hart Kerr, who moved from Middle Tennessee to Big Creek and purchased 5,000 acres of land.
[1] According to the Shelby County Register of Deeds, Kerrville was laid out around 1873 along the Paducah and Memphis Railroad (now the Canadian National Railway).
The 44 acre parcel of land was donated in 1874 by A.H. Kerr to the railroad for a railway station and small town (hence its name).
