Nashville is an incorporated town in Nash County, North Carolina, with an estimated population of 5,850 (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2024 estimate) and 4.7 square miles of land. That is up about 211 residents since the 2020 Census base.
🏢 Nashville Town Hall
Nashville's own town government keeps its local records: council or board meeting minutes, local ordinances and resolutions, local permits and licenses, and its own budget and contracts. Requests for those records go to the town clerk under North Carolina's Public Records Law. Birth and death certificates, marriage records, deeds and court files are generally kept by county and state offices rather than by the town; see the offices below.
