History

Berry Hill is the smallest in both size and population of Metro Nashville's six satellite cities (separately incorporated cities located wholly or partially inside Metro Nashville/Davidson County). Berry Hill is less than one square mile in area, has a population of approximately 700 residents and is home to more than 400 businesses, including almost 40 recording studios and music publishers.

While the Melrose area of the city, along Franklin Pike, was developed in the early 1900's most of what we now know as Berry Hill was developed during and after World War II on the site of Elmwood, the family farm of the W. W. Berry family, for which the City is named.
