History

Ardmore began in 1911 as a railroad stop named “Austin” after a store owner, Alex Austin, who served construction crews working on the nearby L&N Railroad (now CSX) line that would connect Nashville, Tennessee, and Decatur, Alabama. When the L&N opened a depot in 1914, it changed the town’s name to “Ardmore.” The name was likely inspired by Ardmore, Pennsylvania. Ardmore, Tennessee, incorporated in 1949.
