Antioch is a neighborhood of Nashville about 12 miles southeast of downtown, inside the consolidated Metro government (Wikipedia). It takes its name from a church organized near Mill Creek in 1810. In 1820, landowner Charles Hays donated land for the church to build on and began calling it the “Church at Antioch”, which gave the village its name. Its main business center is the Commons at the Crossings, the redeveloped former Hickory Hollow Mall, which opened in 1978. Antioch’s 37013 ZIP code is large and populous: 105,212 residents in the Census Bureau’s 2024 five-year estimates, with a median household income of $72,755 and a median owner-occupied home value of $328,200 (Census Reporter, 37013).
