== Fun facts ==
* Van Buren is the second least-populous county in Tennessee.
* Big Bone Cave is located in the northwest corner of Van Buren County. It is one of the best-known and most historic caverns in Tennessee. It was mined by prehistoric Indians for gypsum and salts and was the site of the largest saltpeter mine in Tennessee during the War of 1812 and again during the American Civil War. The cave is named for the discovery of the skeleton of a Giant Ground Sloth (Megalonyx jeffersoni) by saltpeter miners in 1811. Many of the wooden saltpeter mining artifacts in the cave remain in a remarkable state of preservation, due to the extreme dryness of the cave.
* Van Buren County boasts over 850 documented caves (over 3.09 caves per square mile), making it one of the most cave dense regions in the world (nearby White County has over 3.17 caves per square mile).
* Spencer was home to Burritt College, one of the South's first coeducational colleges, during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
* Politically, Van Buren County was strongly Democrat for most of its existence, up until the mid-late 2000s, when it swung heavily Republican and hasn't turned back since.
* A portion of the Fall Creek Falls State Park is in Van Buren County.
