Just over fifty years ago, the citizens of Davidson County and the City of Nashville decided to do something different about their government - different than the rest of the country. They voted to consolidate our competing and duplicative city and county governments into one. They called this new government Metro. They voted to create the first fully unified government in the United States with the passage of the Metro Charter on June 28, 1962.
