"The Chapel Hill, Tennessee, community was named in the early 1800s by John Laws, an early settler who moved from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and named the community after his hometown. Chapel Hill was chartered in 1889. It is also the boyhood home of General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who served in the Confederate Army.
"Chapel Hill is located two and one-half miles north of Henry Horton State Park. The population of this community is 1,200. In recent years, Chapel Hill has become a popular community for Saturn employees. Convenient access to Interstate 65 allows workers a short drive to the nearby Saturn plant in Spring Hill. Because of the residential growth, Chapel Hill has been forced to expand its public services and has acquired a new elementary school, as well as an addition to the high school."
