The Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro, TN is the 39th largest Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in the United States.[1] It was originally formed by the United States Census Bureau in 1950 and consisted of Davidson County, Tennessee. As surrounding counties saw an increase in their population densities and the number of their residents employed within Davidson County, they met Census criteria to be added to the MSA. Davidson County is now joined with twelve other counties to form this MSA. The Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Columbia, TN Combined Statistical Area is the result of the addition of the Micropolitan Statistical Area of Columbia, TN (Hickman County, Tennessee).
