Belle Meade is a city in Nashville. In 1963, it was absorbed into the metropolitan government of Nashville-Davidson County, however, it retains its independent city status, and its residents pay taxes both to the Metro government and to the City of Belle Meade. Belle Meade streets have distinct signage, the city has its own police force, its own mayor and its own city hall.

The city of Belle Meade is located on what used to be the Belle Meade Plantation, founded by John Harding in 1807. Harding purchased 250 acres of land near Richland Creek, and later expanded until it was 5400 acres. Belle Meade was known for the finest thoroughbred horses in the world, and most of the Kentucky Derby winners can trace bloodlines back to Belle Meade. 1820, John commissioned a brick home in the Federal style on his farm, naming the estate “Belle Meade.” For more of the history of Belle Meade, I would highly recommend a visit to the home and a tour by the historians on site.
