Bordeaux, Tennessee
Bordeaux is a suburban neighborhood of northwest Nashville, in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It forms part of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County.
While there is some commercial development along Clarksville Pike and the community once housed a major State-operated tuberculosis hospital, the Bordeaux area retains a largely suburban residential character. Perhaps most noteworthy about Bordeaux is its history as home to some of the earliest suburban-style single-family housing built expressly for African-Americans in the region. Haynes Heights is an early example of such development. After massive urban renewal and interstate highway construction projects around downtown Nashville displaced low- and moderate-income families in the 1960s, some of these families relocated to Bordeaux. A number of Nashville's most prominent African-American lawyers, doctors and other professionals were also drawn to the suburban Middle-Class lifestyle offered by Bordeaux during the 1960s and 1970s.
