Metropolitan Government of Nashville & Davidson County careers

In 1963, Nashville and Davidson County merged into a single government, which the city's own history calls the first true city-county consolidation in the country; voters had rejected the same idea in 1958 before approving it in June 1962. What that means for a job seeker is one employer covering both city and county functions, under a mayor and a forty-member council, thirty-five elected by district and five at large. Sixty years on, the consolidation still shapes the organization: services that would be split across two governments elsewhere hire under one name in Nashville.
