Nashville, the state capital of Tennessee, has a population of nearly one million, and is one of the largest U.S. cities in terms of area (533 square miles). A music industry hub catering to all genres of audio entertainment, the city boasts its title as "Music City USA". But Nashville is mainly known as the birthplace and home of country music. Historically, the backbone of the state has been agricultural.

Metro-Davidson County employees can always be counted on to volunteer in the community.
