Hickman County

Hickman County has a natural beauty and lifestyle.  Because residents have just a short drive to Nashville, they have the best of both worlds: access to metropolitan amenities and quiet, peaceful living. Hickman County has become a popular destination for camping and retreats. Centerville is the county seat.  Nunnelly and Bon Aqua are two other towns in Hickman County. 

​

This county was after Edwin Hickman, an explorer and surveyor who was killed in an Indian attack at Defeated Creek in 1791. The county was established in 1807.

​

Hickman County is growing as a result of its convenient location on I-40 just past Williamson County and Fairview.
