Gallatin: Sumner County's Seat on the Cumberland River
Gallatin serves as the seat of Sumner County in Middle Tennessee, about 30 miles northeast of Nashville along State Route 386, with roughly 45,000 residents. The city was named for Albert Gallatin, who served as Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Jefferson and Madison. Gallatin was incorporated in 1806 and developed as a commercial hub for surrounding Sumner County agriculture in the nineteenth century.
Volunteer State Community College operates its main campus on Nashville Pike, serving as a regional two-year college for Sumner and surrounding counties. The city sits along Old Hickory Lake, which impounds the Cumberland River, and Cragfont, a 1798 stone mansion built by General James Winchester, survives as a state historic site just east of the city.
The Gallatin Historic District on the town square centers on the 1845 Sumner County Courthouse. The Trousdale Place, home of Governor William Trousdale, stands a few blocks from the square. Growth along State Route 386 and US 31E has brought residential subdivisions, retail centers, and the Station Camp and Volunteer Knolls corridors into active suburban development.
