Hendersonville

Much of Hendersonville borders Old Hickory Lake and the Cumberland River, which makes it a great destination for boating and fishing enthusiasts, as well as anyone looking for waterfront property.

Hendersonville is a very friendly city. There are several parks in the community that offer everything from baseball fields to playgrounds. Many of the homes sit on large, spacious lots with big backyards

History of Hendersonville

Though it was not officially incorporated until 1969, Hendersonville’s roots date back to the 1780s when a man named William Smith began building his home, Rock Castle. The North Carolina government sent him to survey the area, and he fell in love with it. A few year later, William Henderson, the city’s namesake, moved in, and several other well-to-do men began coming to the area. Farming became the way of life in Hendersonville, and the area remained largely rural until the mid-1900s. The 1954 building of the Old Hickory Dam played a role in the community’s change of pace. More people began moving to the area, and soon, it was the most populated city in Sumner County and one of Nashville’s most populated suburbs. Those who worked in Nashville flocked to the area to live along the peaceful lake shores and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Local Attractions

Hendersonville is a lake town, so that means much of the local attractions revolve around boating, catching and eating seafood, and spending time in the great outdoors. But there are other things to do, too. Fine restaurants, great shopping opportunities, golf, bowling, and other family-friendly activities are plentiful. Of course, Nashville is just a quick drive down Interstate 65, which means more shopping, dining, entertainment, and, of course,live music.
