Belle Meade History
A Storied Past
History is one of Belle Meade's prime attractions. Many buy homes here in order to experience their own share of Belle Meade history, while many more visit for the same reason.
Belle Meade's founding can be traced back to 1807, when Virginian John Harding purchased a parcel of land and gave it a name meaning "beautiful meadow".
Harding built his home on Belle Meade and operated numerous businesses on the property, including a breeding farm for thoroughbred horses. In 1853, Harding upgraded the house in Greek-revival style, covering over the brick and adding Doric limestone pillars.
Important in numerous respects during the American Civil War, the front yard also played host to a minor battle on 15 December 1864. Damage from bullets can still be seen on some portions of the house.
New Beginnings
The Harding family sold the property in 1906, and by 1938 the neighborhood that would come to form the City of Belle Meade was established.
The original Belle Meade Plantation was subsequently converted into a museum, and in 1969 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Today, although falling under the Nashville-Davidson County government, Belle Meade operates as an independent city, with its own regulations, administration, and police department.
Belle Meade Plantation now hosts regular tours, weddings, and events, as well as a winery and a museum.
Fittingly, it is the commitment to history and tradition that makes Belle Meade truly timeless.
