Nolensville, TN

   Nolensville has a population of 3,211. It was named for William Nolen, who first settled on land in what is now Nolensville. When William, his wife Sarah, and their five children were traveling out west and their wagon broke down in middle Tennessee in 1797 they were delayed in their travels until the wagon could be fixed. William explored the land and saw the potential it had. There was plenty of animals for food, and the cleanest creek water you could find. This convinced him that Tennessee had a lot to offer, and rather than travel any further west he settled into life in Nolensville.

William and his family built a log cabin and eventually it was turned into a farm, on the land. The first actual town lots were sold in 1819 to a man named George Barnes. The Plan for Incorporating Nolensville, as a town of its own was passed through the Tennessee Senate in 1838. The corporate limits were drawn based on the amount of property owned in Nolensville at the time.

On March 19, 1845 the Charter for Incorporation was drawn up for Nolensville Academy to confer degrees or certificates of proficiency. The charter read as follows: "The support of any library or scientific undertaking as a college or University to pay for degrees in Academy, a debating society licensed, the establishment of a library, the support of a historical society, the promotion of painting, music, or the fine arts, plus the support of Boards of Trade or Chambers of Commerce or other objects of like nature."

Thirty years later, to the day of the opening of Nolensville Academy, a school for both males and females was opened as well in Nolensville. March 19, 1875 a charter was passed by the General Assembly for Nolensville Male and Female Academy.
