Rich in history, the 14.7 square miles that eventually became Thompson’s Station were settled in 1799 by pioneers from Virginia and North Carolina who had received land grants for service in the Revolutionary War. The community, originally called Whit House and then Littlebury, officially became Thompson’s Station in 1856 in honor of Dr. Elijah Thompson, who provided the land on which the village was built. Dr. Thompson secured funds for the railroad, making Thompson’s Station a prosperous shipping center for southern Williamson County.

It wasn’t until 1990, however, that the official incorporation of Thompson’s Station occurred. Town members wanted to stop encroaching annexation from Spring Hill, which saw tremendous growth thanks to the addition of General Motors’ Saturn plant. At that time, the town’s population was 427. By 2006, Thompson’s Station had grown to include 1,650 residents.

This new highway also provides a swift 25-minute route to downtown Nashville. Although the final phases of it are still under construction, SR 840 will allow quick access to I-40 and Memphis upon completion.
