History

The community is sometimes spelled “Ruralhill” in official records. It was located four miles west of Gladeville on Stewart Ferry Pike. On February 9, 1833 A.B. Curry was made the postmaster of the first post office established at Rural Hill, making it one of the earliest post offices in Wilson County. From the time it was opened, the post office had one interruption of service of less than one year before closing in 1903. Rural Hill is mentioned as having held a debate between the candidates for the constitutional convention held in 1834. Rural Hill is also mentioned at least twice in the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion, Series I Volume 20 mentions two skirmishes between Union patrols and advanced confederate outposts from the Confederate Army of Tennessee, then under the command of Gen. Braxton Bragg and encamped in Murfreesboro. On November 18, 1862 and again on December 20, Union scouting met Confederate resistance at the then important cross roads of Rural Hill, which was the first town east of the Stones River past Stewart’s Ferry. These skirmishes both preceded the Union advance from Nashville to Murfreesboro that culminated in the Battle of Stones River.
