Kingston Springs Kingston Springs is located off Interstate 40 in south Cheatham County. Before the advent of the automobile in the early 1900s, Kingston Springs was a famous resort spot. In the mid-1800s, Kingston Springs had mineral springs that produced white, black and red sulphur water. A large inn or tavern was built in 1819 near the springs to serve those taking advantage of their healing qualities. In 1860, the railroad was extended from Nashville to Kingston Springs, and then in

1862 the railroad was extended from Kingston Springs to Waverly, causing a huge population growth within the community. Kingston Springs was incorporated in 1965. Today, 2,756 people call the town home. The town is headed by mayor Tony Campbell, vice mayor Gary Corlew and commissioners Tony Gross, Glenn Remick and Bob Stohler. A full-time manager, Laurie Cooper, oversees the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily operations.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY The floods of 2010 hit Cheatham County hard. When dedicated Habitat volunteers from the Dickson Habitat teamed up with the Cheatham Long Term Recovery committee to help, the community realized that there was a need for a permanent Habitat presence in Cheatham County.

By 2013, Cheatham Habi-

tat had built three houses. Habitat homeowners earn their zero percent interest mortgage rate by attending homeownership classes and working on the build site. If you or anyone you know is interested in applying for a Habitat home, contact director Michael Allen at cmallen@habitatnashville.org or call 973-6732.
