There are several theories for the origin of the name of the town of "Sweet Lips" but the one most people tell is that a stranger passed through the area once. He was thirsty, tired and stopped at a spring for a drink and uttered the words "So Sweet To My Lips." Apparantly the name stuck. The community was
once a busy place with stores and business' as are most small settlements. Sweet Lips can also boast of being a great place to make or find, Moonshine.
The oldest known church in the area is the Baptist Church. Many of the early pioneers with the names of Davis, Hutcherson, Massengill, Pusser, Rhodes, Smith and many others rest easy in the nearby cemetery.
