A lone horse grazes in a field off Dry Creek Road in Cheatham County. Davidson County's due-west neighbor, Cheatham is the state's sixth fastest growing county.
Easy accessibility is a key county asset.
Interstate 24 cuts across the top of the county, and Interstate 40 bisects the bottom, with state Highways 49 and 12 crisscrossing the center. Another prime county attraction is a wealth of natural resources and wholesome recreation. With about 550 families actively involved in farming, Cheatham's largest income-producing enterprises are tobacco and beef cattle. The county's rural heritage, however, isn't stopping new business.
