The landscape around Martin is broad, gently rolling farming country in northwestern Tennessee, which has shaped both the town’s low-rise form and its agricultural economy. Martin is home to the University of Tennessee at Martin, a public campus whose origins date to Hall-Moody Institute, founded in 1900. The university brings a student population, arts events and Skyhawks athletics to a community otherwise defined by fields and regional services. West of town, Reelfoot Lake, created by the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811–12, preserves a markedly different wetland environment of cypress-lined waters.
