Williamson County Community Information
(including Franklin, TN Community Information)
Welcome Home!
Located minutes from Nashville, Williamson County is a stunning countryside of gentle rolling hills, magnificent horse farms, and the rambling Harpeth River. The area has a long and rich history dating back to the late 18th century (the county borders were established in 1799). Established in 1799, Historic Franklin is rich in Civil War history and was the heart of Middle Tennessee plantation country in the mid 19th century. In fact, many of the ante-bellum plantation homes are still in existence today. Neighboring communities, like that of Leipers Fork, also hold rich histories and are home to numerous prize-winning horse farms as well as many country music stars.
