A Quick History of Williamson County
Located south of Nashville, Williamson County, Tennessee is named after Dr. Hugh Williamson, surgeon general of the North Carolina militia, member of the Continental Congress, and a signer of the United States Constitution.
Williamson County prospered from its inception, but progress was brought to a halt with the onset of the Civil War. The Battle of Franklin, which took place during the Civil War, left more than 8,000 soldiers dead or wounded during a mere five hours of fighting. The onslaught turned nearly every home and building in the city of Franklin into a makeshift hospital.
After the war ended, Williamson County settled down to become a largely agricultural based economy. Tobacco became the county’s main cash crop, but despite this and other agricultural yields, it took nearly 120 years for the Williamson County economy to return to pre-war levels. It was not until the 1960s that the area began to experience rapid growth, and that was when the value of Williamson County MLS began to soar. At this time, a large interstate system was being built in the area, a factor that contributes to the county’s growing population.
Williamson County boasts many “firsts” in the nation, including the first Masonic Hall, the first Masonic Lodge, the first three-story building in Tennessee, and the first Protestant Episcopal Church in Tennessee -- St. Paul’s Church. The first Methodist Conference west of the Alleghenies also took place in Williamson County, hosted by the Liberty Methodist Church.
