William Tandy Senter (May 12, 1801 – August 28, 1848) was an American politician that represented Tennessee's second district in the United States House of Representatives.
He attended the common schools, and engaged in agricultural pursuits as well as holding several local offices.
[1] A minister in the Holston Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Senter was also a member of the State constitutional convention, which met at Nashville from May 19 to August 30, 1834.
[3] After his service, Senter resumed agricultural and ministerial work at Panther Springs, Hamblen County, Tennessee.
[4] The city of Centerville, Iowa was named in his honor, although the spelling was changed because a clerk assumed the proposed name "Senterville" was a misspelling.
