History
Originally known as Pleasant Hill, the community was settled through the 1840s on the high ground just north of the modern-day village. The area surrounding Finley was hunted by Davy Crockett, who named the creek that runs through Finley after himself.
The community is named after local businessman and farmer James Allen Finley, who moved to the area in 1858 and eventually had a post office established in his home. [4] [5]
Today, the village serves as a hub for the smaller communities of western Dyer County that lie within the Mississippi River alluvial plane. It is the home of Finley Elementary School, which traces its roots to the earliest days of the village.
