About Forest Hills
Forest Hills is an incorporated city in Davidson County, Tennessee that operates its own municipal government under a general law manager–commission charter. Although Forest Hills is within Davidson County, it is one of several smaller “satellite cities” that retain independent municipal governance rather than being fully governed by the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County. When Nashville and Davidson County consolidated their governments in 1963 to create a single metropolitan government, cities such as Forest Hills were allowed to keep their existing charters and municipal authorities, including their own mayor and commissioners, while still cooperatively receiving certain services from Metro Nashville. The population was 5,038 at the 2020 United States census.
