==History==

Collinwood was established in 1913 as a stop on the Tennessee Western Railroad, a rail line constructed to serve the area iron industry.  The city was named for W.W. Collins, president of the Collinwood Land Company, which platted the city.  While the railroad, which intersected the [[Louisville and Nashville Railroad|L&N]] system at [[Iron City, Tennessee|Iron City]], was originally to extend northward to [[Hohenwald, Tennessee|Hohenwald]], plans for extension beyond Collinwood never materialized, and the city became the railroad's western terminus.<ref name=nrhp>Richard Quin and Miranda Roche, [http://focus.nps.gov/GetAsset?assetID=c4bd0632-e2c9-40d3-8879-d4d70d44d418 National Register of Historic Places Inventory Form for Collinwood Railroad Station], September 1987, Sec. 8, pp. 1-4.</ref><ref>Bob Rains, "[http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/entry.php?rec=1478 Wayne County]," ''Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture''.  Accessed November 9, 2016.</ref>

The Collinwood Land Company advertised lots for the new city in June 1913, and by the following year, about 300 people were living in the city.  Most of the residents worked for the railroad or in the local lumber industry.  During [[World War I]], Collinwood's economy boomed, and its population swelled to over 2,000.  A wood alcohol ([[methanol]]) distillation plant and [[blast furnace]] were constructed in the years following the war, but as demand for these products fell, the economy collapsed and the city began to decline.  The tracks connecting Collinwood with the L&N system were abandoned in the late 1930s.<ref name=nrhp />

The Collinwood Railroad Station, built in 1916, still stands near the center of the city, and is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].  The station, which mostly follows design patterns typical of L&N depots of the period, is the last major remnant of the area's railroad history.<ref name=nrhp />  The station now serves as a library and museum.

==Geography==
Collinwood is located at {{coord|35|10|13|N|87|44|34|W|type:city}} (35.170153, -87.742731).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=April 23, 2011|date=February 12, 2011|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref>  The city is situated on a relatively broad plain surrounded by low hills and hollows.  Streams in the eastern part of the city are part of the [[Shoal Creek (Tennessee River)|Shoal Creek]] watershed, while streams in the western part are tributaries of Indian Creek (both Shoal Creek and Indian Creek empty into the [[Tennessee River]]).

Collinwood is concentrated along a stretch of [[Tennessee State Route 13|State Route 13]], roughly halfway between [[Waynesboro, Tennessee|Waynesboro]] to the north and the Tennessee-[[Alabama]] state line to the south. [[Tennessee State Route 203|State Route 203]] intersects SR 13 at the southern tip of Collinwood, connecting the city with [[Savannah, Tennessee|Savannah]] to the west.  The [[Natchez Trace Parkway]] traverses Collinwood from northeast to southwest.

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|2.8|sqmi|km2}}, all of it land.
