Late-Victorian}} Whites Creek is a neighborhood of Davidson County in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It is governed by the Metropolitan Council of Nashville and Davidson County, because the government of Davidson County is consolidated with that of Nashville.

The community is named for the creek of the same name running north–south along U.S. Route 431.

Whites Creek Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Davidson County, Tennessee on July 18, 1980. It has some of the best preserved examples of the architectural and historical significance of this era in Middle Tennessee.

History

The legendary James Gang outlaws visited Whites Creek and rested there in the 1800s. Gang member Bill Ryan was arrested on March 25, 1881, in Whites Creek, prompting gang leaders Frank and Jesse James to leave the area.

Fontanel, the former residence of Barbara Mandrell, is located in Whites Creek. The location was purchased by two investors and reopened to the public, featuring a restaurant, trails, and an amphitheater. It recently added a bed & breakfast called The Inn at Fontanel, and a branch of Prichard's Distillery.

The historic district is Nashville's only historic rural area and it covers 157 acre. Located in northwestern Davidson County the area's buildings were built from the 1830s to the early 1900s. Frederick Stump and Jesse James lived in Whites Creek. The Frederick Stump House is in Whites Creek. In 2015 the district was added to an annual historic-endangered list by The Tennessean newspaper: "Historic Nashville lists nine threatened properties".
