History

The first rail service in Tipton County was established in December 1855, when the Memphis and Ohio Railroad completed the route from Memphis to Nashville, running through what is now the town of Mason.

Trinity Church in Mason, built in 1870, was designed by English architect James B. Cook and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 2022 the State Government of Tennessee fought to gain financial control over the town government. In May of that year the town and the state government had a deal so that the financial control remained with the town government.
