History of Old Hickory Lake

Old Hickor LakeTucked into the landscape of Middle Tennessee, Old Hickory Lake is more than just a scenic backdrop for waterfront living, it’s a piece of local history and is the perfect fit to create your own waterfront lifestyle.

Created in 1954 by the completion of the Old Hickory Lock and Dam on the Cumberland River, the lake was named in honor of President Andrew Jackson, whose nearby estate, The Hermitage, earned him the nickname “Old Hickory” during the war of 1812.

Originally developed for flood control, hydroelectric power, and navigation, the lake has since grown into a vibrant destination for boating, fishing, and lakeside relaxation. With nearly 100 miles of shoreline and charming communities like Hendersonville, Gallatin, Old Hickory, Mount Juliet and Lebanon along its banks, Old Hickory Lake offers not just beauty, but a deep-rooted connection to Tennessee’s past.  

There is also a town of Old Hickory located on Old Hickory Lake, which can be confusing while searching for waterfront properties.  Be sure to search for Old Hickory Lake properties to see all available homes.
