Hendersonville’s scenic beauty and suburban lifestyle have made it the perfect place to plant roots and raise families. With friendly neighborhoods, excellent schools, outstanding parks, a thriving retail and restaurant base and a burgeoning arts and music scene, the city has much to offer.
Located just 20 minutes northeast of the center of downtown Nashville, Hendersonville has a special character all its own. Featuring 26 miles of shoreline adjacent to beautiful Old Hickory Lake and the Cumberland River, the city is widely known for being a mecca for outdoor recreation.
Originally settled in 1784 by surveyor and Revolutionary War veteran Daniel Smith, Hendersonville was not formally incorporated as a municipality until 1969. Since then, Hendersonville has grown to become the largest city in Sumner County and the 11 th largest city in Tennessee. During 2021, Hendersonville received national recognition with its selection as Money Magazine’s 16 th best place to live in America.
Over the years, Hendersonville has been the home to many key influencers, including entrepreneurs, Tennessee Titans and Grammy Award-winning artists such as Johnny and June Cash, Roy Orbison, Ricky Skaggs, the Oak Ridge Boys and Taylor Swift. While most of these individuals make their living in nearby Nashville, they chose Hendersonville as the place to call home.
There is no doubt about it, good things are happening in the City by the Lake.
