About Moscow
Moscow ( MOS-koh) is a city in Fayette County, Tennessee, United States. The population was 572 at the 2020 census. The town was named after Moscow, Russia, by its founder J. A. Dilliard to honor his wife Alexandra, a native of the Russian city, whom he met on a business trip to Russia in 1834. Moscow, Tennessee maintained close relations with Russia in the years leading to the Civil War, which led to Dilliard’s niece, Lucy Pickens born in La Grange, Tennessee, along with her husband serving as the US ambassador to Russia then after secession serving as Confederate representative to the Russian Emperor during the Civil War. Moscow is also known as the “Land Between Two Rivers,” due to its location after the Army Corps of Engineers rerouted the waterways, moving the main channel west to its current location.
