    1. [TNBEDFOR] Districts
    2. Marty, I found my list. First, I was wrong about Normandy. Normandy was in District 25. I don't think we have any serious differences of opinion except District 18 borders Marshall County and College Grove is in Williamson County and is not the same place as Center Grove. Some other differences may be because there have been shifts in district lines, however I am not aware of any shifts. They should be recorded in the county court minutes IF IT HAPPENED. It is my understanding that these districts were established in 1835 and that they remained the same until after 1980. Anybody know the exact date? They are still referred to as the CIVIL districts, while the new districts, which are shown on the map sanctioned by the county, are called the voting districts. Districts 12 - 17 went to Marshall County in 1836. Coffee County was formed about the same time, but apparently that was anticipated when the districts were laid out and the land that went to Coffee County was not included as Bedford County districts. Here is what I have. Can you add any communities to my list? Do I need to shift some? Dist 1 - Beech Grove, Puncheon Camp Dist 2 - Fairfield, Haley Mount Reserve, Bethsalem, Knob Creek (split between 2 and 3) Dist 3 - Wartrace, Horse Mountain Dist 4 - Old Trickem, Bell Buckle Dist 5 - Deason Dist 6 - North Shelbyville, Jackson Dist 7 - Shelbyville Dist 8 - Dist 9 - Longview Center Grove (9 or 10) Dist 10 - Rover, Coopertown Dist 11 - Unionville Dist 18 - Thompson's Ford, Hall's Mill, Wheel Dist 19 - Bedford, Richmond Dist 20 - Pleasant Grove, Dist 21 - Dist 22 - New Herman, Mt. Hermon, Dean Dist 23 - Himesville, Singleton Dist 24 - Hilltop, Raus, Flat Creek Dist 25 - Normandy, Rowesville, Anthony Mill, Midway Thanks, Carolyn
