Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District is in Middle and West Tennessee, stretching between the Kentucky and Alabama borders and including parts of the Nashville area.

Basic location

  • The district covers a band of territory running roughly north–south across central Tennessee, reaching the Kentucky border in the north and the Alabama border in the south.
  • It is anchored in the broader Middle Tennessee region but extends westward, so it is officially described as lying in both Middle and West Tennessee.

Major cities and counties

  • Key population centers in the district include parts of Nashville in Davidson County, the city of Clarksville in Montgomery County, and parts of Franklin and Brentwood in Williamson County.
  • Counties fully or partly in the 7th District include Benton, Cheatham, Davidson, Decatur, Dickson, Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Montgomery, Perry, Robertson, Stewart, Wayne, and Williamson, with Davidson and Williamson only partially included.

How to picture it

  • If you look at a Tennessee map, the 7th sits to the west and southwest of Nashville, then stretches northwest toward the Kentucky line and south toward Alabama, wrapping around more central urban cores.
  • A map search for “where is Tennessee 7th congressional district” will show its long, somewhat irregular shape reflecting recent redistricting after the 2020 census.
