Nashville is a town in Washington Township, Brown County, Indiana, United States.

Settlement of land in and around Nashville began with the acquisition of land from native populations under the 1809 Treaty of Fort Wayne. This was expanded with more acquisitions under the 1818 Treaty of St. Mary's. By 1840 area population had grown to more than 2,300. The first Nashville courthouse was constructed in 1837 and a jail was added in the same year. The town was officially incorporated in 1872. By the turn of the century, heavy logging in the area had caused significant deforestation which resulted in significant erosion problems. The population shrunk over the span of several decades and did not recover to 1890 levels until 90 years later in 1980.

With the opening of a rail station six miles away in Helmsburg, Indiana the area became more accessible to travelers and tourists. A number of writers told the world about the beauties of the community and the nature of the quaint village of Nashville, and the foundations of the artist colony were made. Artists from around the country began to make Nashville their home. Among the earlier artist settlers were TC Steele and Adolph Schulz. Both Steele and Schulz who had a significant influence on later impressionist artisans, now have areas dedicated to their lives and work. Steele with the TC Steele State Historic Site, located off of State Road 46 near Belmont. And Schulz with the Adolph Schulz Memorial Garden, located in Trevlac.

Today, Nashville boasts a thriving tourist industry based upon the original works of resident artists and upon the area's natural beauty.

The United States acquired the land from the Indians, part of which forms the southwest section of what is now Brown County, in the 1809 treaty of Fort Wayne. By the treaty of St. Mary's in 1818 considerably more territory became property of the government and this included Brown County Land. No settler was allowed in the area until the government survey was completed in 1820. The first white man known to arrive was a German, Johann Schoonover, who lived for a short time on the creek later named for him to trade with the Indians, about 1820. In that same year William Elkins, the first pioneer, built a log cabin and cleared land in what became Johnson Township.
