HISTORY
Rich in history, the area that eventually became Thompson’s Station was settled in 1799 by pioneers from Virginia and North Carolina who had received land grants for service in the Revolutionary War. The community, originally called Whit House and then Littlebury, officially became Thompson’s Station in 1856 in honor of Dr. Elijah Thompson, who provided the land on which the village was built. Dr. Thompson secured funds for the railroad, making Thompson’s Station a prosperous shipping center for southern Williamson County. However, it wasn’t until 1990 that the official incorporation of Thompson’s Station occurred. At that time, the town’s population was 427. By 2006, Thompson’s Station had grown to include 1,650 residents.
