HISTORY Efforts to incorporate Hickory Withe led to revisions of Tennessee laws regarding , Rebel Yell: Tennesseeans fight back against the conquering cities ''Reason Magazine'', June 1998. Corrective legislation enacted since has required any new town being set up to have a property tax rate set as a condition of its incorporation (and that rate cannot be "zero"). Towns set up under the "Tiny Town" law, like Hickory Withe, were not automatically dissolved with the act's repeal, although some have subsquently taken this step. Hickory Withe, with a fairly large area relative to its population and an affluent tax base which can provide considerable revenue to the town at a still-low rate, seems unlikely to do so. In the Memphis metroplitan area, Hickory Withe is only behind in affuluence of certain areas of Memphis, as well as the Shelby County suburban areas of Germantown and Collierville.
