Frog Jump is an unincorporated community in Crockett County, Tennessee, United States.[1] The community lies along a rural stretch of State Route 88 between Halls to the west and Maury City to the east. The community's name is believed to be a humorous reference to its small size, namely that it's small enough for a frog to jump over in a single hop.[2]
