About Nineveh
Tucked into southern Johnson County, Nineveh offers a relaxed, rural lifestyle surrounded by scenic hills and peaceful lake country. It sits right alongside Cordry and Sweetwater lakes, making it a great area for anyone looking for a quiet neighborhood, boating on weekends, or simply a slower pace. The community gets its memorable name from Nineveh Berry, an early hunter who famously tumbled into the creek while chasing a deer.
Movie buffs might also know the town for its slice of Hollywood history. The old Nineveh Elementary School doubled as Hickory High in the beloved 1986 basketball movie *Hoosiers*, and local kids even attended class while the film crew was on site. Today, local students attend Indian Creek schools in nearby Trafalgar. Between the quiet lakes, easy access to Brown County, and deep local roots, Nineveh is a welcoming spot for anyone looking for country living with a strong sense of community.
