Tennessee Ridge, TN

Tennessee Ridge is a Houston County town on the western side of Middle Tennessee. The town's name is literal: it sits on a Tennessee ridge, with the local elevation around 742 feet and ZIP Code 37178. Tennessee Ridge incorporated in 1960 under the state's manager-commission form of town government, and Town Hall remains the local civic address. Tennessee Ridge Elementary serves younger students, while Houston County Middle and High School serve older grades elsewhere in the county. The surrounding roads connect the town to Erin, the county seat, and the smaller settlements of western Houston County. Tennessee Ridge is one of those places where the terrain and the name do most of the orienting, with a separate town government and a school route that stretches across the county.
