== Fun facts ==
* In 2015, the Decatur County clerk of court and the entire staff of that office resigned, to express conscientious objection to the United States Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which would oblige the office to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
* Like many Tennessee counties, Decatur was divided over secession during the Civil War.
* Decatur was Democrat-leaning, but more swing than some other counties, but has trended Republican since the mid-2000s.
