Davidson County

Communities

All of Davidson County is encompassed under the consolidated Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County. However, several municipalities that were incorporated before consolidation retain some autonomy as independent municipalities. These are:

• Belle Meade
• Berry Hill
• Forest Hills
• Goodlettsville (partly in Sumner County)
• Oak Hill
• Ridgetop (primarily in Robertson County)
