History

Westmoreland has a few interesting things through its history. Including having been an old railroad town and containing one of the smallest railroad tunnels there is.

Originally created in 1901 by a state charter, the town was officially incorporated to the State of Tennessee in February of 1901. In the years that followed, it slowly grew to the albeit small population it had today.

In the early 2000’s, the Westmoreland Elementary school shut down, and relocated to a school closer to the Middle and High schools. The building today stands as Westmoreland Dream Center, and is a hub for can food drives and some boy scout activities.

The town has the smallest railroad tunnel in the world, smaller than the average American living room. It was built sometime during the early to mid 1900s and today is known as Little Tunnel. A mural in Town Square depicts the tunnel, along with a few other notable buildings and places.
