Nashville is a former unincorporated community in Brown Township, Hancock County, Indiana. It was located two miles northwest of Warrington, Indiana along N. Nashville Road.
History
[edit]Nashville was laid out and platted in 1834 with 32 lots. Some stores and blacksmith shops were erected. However, a 1916 book on the county's history reports that the stores "disappeared long ago", though the blacksmith shops lasted longer, and all that was left of the community by then was a few houses.[3][4]
