Thompson Station
Thompson Station is located approximately 25 miles south of Nashville nestled among the rolling hills and lovely countryside of middle Tennessee. The town’s tranquil environment is worlds apart from any busy urban lifestyles, yet still in close proximity to everything the world-renowned “Music City” and surrounding communities have to offer.
The town is rich in history, from its earliest settlers in 1780, to the stirring Battle of Thompson’s Station and as a stop along Tennessee’s well known Great Train Trail. The town was first known as White House in the early 1830s, then Littlebury in 1836, apparently after the postmaster then, Littleberry Starks. It wasn’t until later on in 1856, when Dr. Elijah Thompson had donated the land on which the village was built that the name Thompson’s Station took root.
Over many years more and more new residents began moving into the area so that Thompson’s Station held an incorporation referendum in the year 1990. The measure received overwhelming approval and so on August 15 of that same year, the community officially became The Town of Thompson’s Station.
