Little Nashville, Alabama


Little Nashville is a ghost town in Jackson County, Alabama, United States.
The settlement was located along the Paint Rock River. Northeast of the settlement is a hilly projection of land called "Little Nashville Point".

History

The settlement was named "Little Nashville" because a steel bridge fabricated in Nashville, Tennessee crossed the Paint Rock River at that location. Little Nashville was once "a thriving village".
A former home in Little Nashville was described as the Paint Rock River valley's best example of Queen Anne style architecture, while The Browning House west of Little Nashville served as a Union Army hospital during the Civil War.
Little Nashville Farm, a property identified as an "Alabama Treasure Forest", is located at the former settlement.
