Antioch is much more than a commuter town for Nashville. The town got its start in 1810 near Mill Creek as a Baptist church. By the late 1840s, roads began to pop up, and by the 1880s, the village had a railroad station, one store, a church, a blacksmith shop, and a handful of modest homes. The 1930s brought an auto repair shop to the village, and a pub replaced the old blacksmith shop. The post office was the center-point in the community. Having never formally incorporated as a town, the community was eventually consumed by the growing city of Nashville.

Today, Antioch is Nashville’s second-largest center for employment. Community Health Systems has a 300-acre campus with 2,000 local jobs. LKQ Corp., an auto parts distributor, has invested $25 million to build a 100,000-square-foot regional center, and many other companies have relocated here.

While the neighborhood continues to develop into a commercial center, there are still bits of undisturbed nature to be found. Cane Ridge Park on Battle Road is surrounded by woods. It’s a great place hike, bike or to take the kids to play sports and have a picnic.

If you really want to get deep into nature, Radnor Lake State Park is close by. The park encompasses more than 1,300 acres and features a wide range of biodiversity. There are more than 6 miles of trails for hiking and biking.

The Ford Ice Center is the place for hockey fans; both children and adults can join amateur hockey leagues. There are also figure skating classes, curling, and open public skating. It’s sponsored by the Nashville Predators hockey team to help promote all forms of ice skating in the community.
