Reverie is an unincorporated community in Tipton County, Tennessee, United States. In 2001, the population was 11.[1]
Over a period of about 24 hours on March 7, 1876, the Mississippi River abandoned its former channel that coincided with the Tennessee-Arkansas border, and established a new channel east of Reverie. This places Reverie on the Arkansas side, while most of the area of Tipton County is located east of the Mississippi River, the Tennessee side. The formation of the new Centennial Cut-off, named for the US centennial, and the abandonment of the stretch of river formerly known as the Devil's Elbow, led to a 1918 Supreme Court case (Arkansas v. Tennessee) on whether the border should be moved with the river.[3]
In 1900, a mastodon skeleton was discovered 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Reverie.[4]
In the first half of the 20th century, archeological artifacts from an aboriginal village dated AD 1400-1650 were found about 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of Reverie, at the Nodena site.[5]
