Town of Saltillo, Tennessee

Welcome to the Town of Saltillo, we are located at River Marker 172 on the banks of the beautiful Tennessee River.  Saltillo is a progressive resort town and retirement community rich in heritage and history but with a small town feel.

Initially founded in 1822 by Thomas Shannon, Saltillo became a shipping point along the Tennessee River.  Originally Davy’s Landing, Saltillo was given its present name in 1849.  Architecture from this era still stands today providing a rich view of yesteryear for visitors to our town. 

Saltillo offers a peaceful river lifestyle with boating, fishing and other water activities year round making it one of the most sought out communities to live and visit.   In addition to the activities on the river, Saltillo hosts an annual River Day Festival, annual fireworks display, Tennessee River Poker Run and Primitive Arts Heritage Festival each year drawing thousands of visitors to our town.

It has been my pleasure to serve the Town of Saltillo over the last four years as Alderman and Mayor.  I appreciate our faithful supporters and community members who have engaged in the many community activities, planning sessions, improvement projects and giving of their time as we progress toward a better and stronger community.  We've come a long way over the years.

The members of the Board of Mayor and Alderman have served with integrity and pride to ensure the Town of Saltillo continues to move forward.  My deepest gratitude for the Treasurer/Recorder, Fire, Police, Public Works and Senior Director, I appreciate their dedication and commitment to the community through it all.  The Alderman have gone above and beyond in service as they have engaged in every activity, decision, and planning session presented to them with diligence and sincerity.

Angela and I, like many of you, chose to establish our new home here in Saltillo's great "Retire Tennessee Community" in Hardin County.  In the future, we will continue to serve and engage this community in other ways.  We challenge you to serve too!  In our diverse community, everyone has a talent or gift to give....but you must be willing.

As I leave office on November 30th, it will provide more opportunity to grow our business, River Time Deli and Market, assist our aging parents with medical care and support, spend more time with our children and enjoy the pleasures of retirement.

Best wishes to the newly elected Mayor and Alderman.  They will begin service on December 3, 2024.

Greg Billings, Mayor
