Weakley County Commission Information

THE WEAKLEY COUNTY COMMISSIon

The Weakley County Legislative Body is commonly referred to as the Weakley County Commission and is currently made up of two commissioners representing each of the county's nine districts. Historically, the County Commission was called the Weakley County Quarterly Court - you'll see that often if searching archived county documents. The number of districts in the county has changed several times over the years, thereby changing the number of commissioners representing them.
