Franklin
Franklin is a unique blend of history and progress. Since 1799, Franklin has grown from a tiny, agricultural community into a strong blend of residential, commercial and corporate citizens. There is much to see and do in Franklin, from a Civil War battlefield, a host of museums and antebellum mansions to the thriving downtown shopping area and the Cool Springs Galleria. Just a few miles from town is the Natchez Trace Parkway, and if you like antiques, Franklin has some of the best shops in Tennessee.

Brentwood
Brentwood was incorporated in 1969 with a population of 3,378. It is now a premier suburban residential and office community. Much of this growth was facilitated by the construction of I-65 in the 1960s, the Moores Lane interchange in the mid-70s and the Concord Road interchange in the 80s. Also, the development of Maryland Farms from Truman Ward’s horse farm into a business park in the 70s and 80s brought an influx of thousands of workers daily, which led to the development of other businesses and services.

Nolensville
Nolensville prides itself on its family-friendly, small town. Close to the larger municipalities of Nashville and Brentwood, the community hosts a highly educated adult population and great schools. Nolensville was settled early in our nation’s history by those seeking a better life for their families. Folks still move here for the same reason. The town slogan is “Community, History, Proximity.” As of the census of 2020, there are 15,487 people. The Town estimates the current households residing in the town at 5,000.

Thompson's Station
Located approximately twenty-five miles south of Nashville, amid the rolling hills and countryside of middle Tennessee, Thompson’s Station is a great place to live. It is steeped in history, from its earliest settlers in 1780, to the stirring Battle of Thompson’s Station and as a stop along Tennessee’s Great Train Trail. The town’s tranquil environment and convivial atmosphere is worlds apart from hectic urban lifestyles, yet still near to everything “Music City” has to offer. Bridging both a storied past and promising future, Thompson’s Station prospers through its historical heritage and proximity to Nashville, Franklin and Spring Hill.
