WELCOME TO CHEATHAM COUNTY!

"A Great Place to Raise a Family"

TODAY IS   

Cheatham County's slogan says it all.  It speaks of its well-maintained neighborhoods, low crime rate, strong law enforcement, ambulance service, fire protection, affordable housing and its commitment to an excellent educational system.  Located in the green rolling hills of Middle Tennessee, Cheatham County is surrounded by the Cumberland and Harpeth rivers.  The luxuries of metropolitan life are just minutes away, with downtown Nashville being just southeast of the county.

Education is top priority in Cheatham County.  Dedication to the school system is evident everywhere, from teachers to parents to members of the community.  This, combined with the small-town feel and close-knit community, truly makes Cheatham County a great place to educate a child!
