The Nashville-Davidson–Murfreesboro–Franklin, TN, metropolitan statistical area in Middle Tennessee is the 39th largest Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in the United States[2] and the largest metropolitan area in the state of Tennessee.

It was originally designated by the United States Census Bureau in 1950, when it consisted only of Davidson County. As surrounding counties increased in population densities and in the number of their residents employed within Davidson County, they met Office of Management and Budget criteria to be added to the MSA. Davidson County is now joined with twelve other counties to form this MSA.
