Unique in its evolution and history, Old Hickory offers a prime residential location with access to water-sport recreation. To the west is the Cumberland River, while Old Hickory Lake lies to the east. Nestled in Hadley’s Bend in northeastern Davidson County, the village sprang up as housing for workers in a DuPont plant. The homes vary in design and detail but also in quality and size, built for everyone from factory workers to executive-level management. As the community grew, adjacent areas developed. The original district remains remarkably unchanged over the decades, with quiet streets shaded by mature trees. Distinguished as Middle Tennessee’s only planned “company town,” Old Hickory represents an important architectural and historical resource.
