Sardis established 1949, now with a population of 515, is located about 20 miles from Lexington in southern Henderson County. The town is located at the intersection of three state highways: Highway 104, 421 and 201. Farming is still an important occupation, although many residents work in business and industry both in the local area and surrounding towns. Sardis offers an exceptional quality of life through its rural lifestyle, its proximity to shopping areas in surrounding towns, and its nearness to recreational areas along the Tennessee River. Local recreational opportunities are provided at the City Park which offers basketball, tennis, baseball/softball and other activities.
     Public education is provided by the Henderson County School system through schools in the Reagan Community (Southside Elementary), Scotts Hill (both elementary and high school) and Lexington (Lexington High School). Sardis residents have access to public water through the Sardis Water System, natural gas service provided by Lexington Gas Department and fire protection provided by the Henderson County Fire Department.
