Property taxes, license plates, and schools are determined by county.
Cottonport Plantation's Early History
Cottonport’s history began in 1810 when John Frost from Newberry, South Carolina, purchased the old Mayfield Station property. This property is the site of an earlier fort built to protect the settlers from Indian attacks. In 1788 the Indians did attack the fort.
Located on Old Smyrna Road, Frost built a temporary log home to house him until about 1815 when he constructed the two-story brick home at the crossroads settlement of Cottonport. By 1829 a general store, gristmill, and a post office are built near the Cottonport home and served as the business center for the area.
Brentwood is Born
In 1852 the Tennessee and Alabama Railroad was established to build a railroad from Nashville to Columbia. By 1860 it was in full operation and the rail ran just west of Cottonport at Atkinson’s Gap (now Brentwood at Old Hickory Blvd. and Franklin Rd). Because people and businesses tend to follow progress, all the Cottonport businesses moved to the new railroad in the new town of Brentwood. However, the original 1815 brick home of Frost and perhaps his original log home now the smokehouse still stands.
Radnor Homes
Moving forward to 1988, Radnor Homes, now Pulte Homes, begins the new subdivision of Cottonport Plantation named after the original early 1800s Cottonport settlement. The community is completed in 1994 with 162 homes, 151 homes are in Davidson County and 11 homes in Williamson County.
