Spring Hill, Tennessee. Spring Hill is a city in Maury and Williamson counties, Tennessee, located approximately 30 miles (48 km) south of Nashville. Spring Hill's population as of 2014 was 34,269.
Like Hovey, today's settlers have noted that Spring Hill's location can't be beat - it's close to the metro for easy commutes and urban amenities and shopping, but just far south enough to enjoy the quieter pace and close-knit community spirit of a small town. Hovey was drawn to the area's abundant natural resources.
