You may already know about Nashville’s sister cities, but here’s a fun fact: There are at least 19 other towns and cities in the United States that share Music City’s name.
You know what they say — imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Nashville, Oregon
Unfortunately, not all Nashvilles survive the passage of time. We weren’t able to dig up much about this unincorporated community, but a book of ads from 1952 shared by the Lincoln County Historical Society suggests this Nashville was “home to a big-time logging company, complete with a corporate airplane.”
Nashville, Georgia
Music City, meet the “City of Dogwoods.” The area boasting a population just under 5,000 people was incorporated in 1892 and named after Revolutionary War soldier General Francis Nash. Nashville acts as the county seat for Berrien County, which covers 450 square miles and consists of four municipalities. The downtown square offers a family-owned hotel and a farmers market + around 15 restaurants and a saddle club are nearby.
Nashville, Michigan
The Village of Nashville was established in 1869 in Barry County, primarily occupying the Castletown Township, but also existing within the Maple Grove Township. Find a little slice of Middle Tennessee’s countryside at MOO-ville Creamery, a family farm milking 200 cows for milk, ice cream, cheese, and butter. Yes, there’s a free petting farm with 40 animals.
Nashville, Indiana
This artsy small town of ~1,200 people sits in Brown County, located about an hour from Indianapolis, and is often called the “Little Smokies” for its hilly terrain. Expect cozy inns and cottages, galleries, and plenty of live music — something we know a thing or two about in our Nashville.
