Hillsdale, Tennessee

Hillsdale is an unincorporated community in Macon County in the U.S. state of Tennessee.

[1] In the late 19th and early 20th century, Hillsdale was a bustling, largely agricultural community, with schools, a post office, and several retail stores and establishments.

[citation needed] Beginning in the late 1950s, as agriculture became less profitable in comparison to manufacturing and service industries, Hillsdale became less populated, and most of the businesses, including the post office, closed.

Hillsdale is located between the towns of Hartsville to the south and Lafayette to the north.

[citation needed] Tennessee State Highway 10 is the main roadway through Hillsdale.
