Meticulous visioning and planning describe how early city leaders carefully preserved the community’s rolling pastureland and green spaces while welcoming residential and commercial growth. In the late 1960s when I-65 was extended into Williamson County, community leaders realized growth was inevitable. A planned vision was created that would preserve the city’s character and beauty. When Brentwood incorporated, April 15, 1969, the population was less than 5,000. Today over 45,000 residents call this Nashville suburb home.
