About Waverly

Waverly is a welcoming Middle Tennessee town of around 4,300 residents, serving as the seat of Humphreys County in the scenic Trace Creek Valley. Located about ten miles east of Kentucky Lake, it offers a relaxed, small-town pace with roots dating back to its origins as an 1800s stagecoach stop along the route between Nashville and Memphis. Today, it combines historic charm around its traditional courthouse square with an easygoing atmosphere that appeals to anyone looking to escape the bustle of larger cities.

Day-to-day life revolves around local Humphreys County schools, community churches, and neighborhood businesses, with plenty of outdoor recreation right in your backyard. Boating, fishing, and watersports on the Tennessee River and Kentucky Lake are only minutes away, while Route 13 connects you south to Interstate 40 and nearby Hurricane Mills. Sitting along US 70 roughly an hour and a half west of Nashville, Waverly provides a quiet home base for anyone who appreciates scenic countryside and close-knit neighbors.
