Nashville, Mississippi

Nashville is a ghost town in Lowndes County, Mississippi, United States.

Road traffic passed through the community and then crossed the river on a ferry owned by Young.

[3] Another early settler, Nimrod N. Nash, opened a store there, and then purchased Young's property in 1834.

In addition to the successful ferry service, Nashville's stores supplied local farmers with goods, it had a post office established in 1837, and its port had facilities to store cotton until steamboats arrived in the late autumn-early winter, when water level would rise.

[3] The river at this site is now part of the Tennessee–Tombigbee Waterway, and numerous cottages line the east bank.
