Fly is an unincorporated community in Maury County, Tennessee. It is along the Natchez Trace Parkway, south of Nashville.[2] The small valley known as Fly Hollow is between Fly and the Natchez Trace.[3]

In the early 19th century a number of Fly family members, mostly from North Carolina, moved to this part of Tennessee near the Natchez Trace on Leipers Creek, a tributary of the Duck River. After a rail line was built through the area the settlement was called Fly's Station. The local store is still called Fly's Store.[4]

References

The local store was actually renamed Fly Store. Through most of the 20th century it was Grove's store.
