Fly, Tennessee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fly is an unincorporated community in Maury County, Tennessee. It is along the Natchez Trace Parkway, south of Nashville.[1] The small valley known as Fly Hollow is between Fly and the Natchez Trace.[2]

In the early 19th century a number of Fly family members, mostly from North Carolina, moved to this part of Tennessee near the Natchez Trace on Leipers Creek, a tributary of the Duck River. After a rail line was built through the area the settlement was called Fly's Station. The local store is still called Fly's Store.[3]
