Biohazard and Pathogen Disinfection in Normandy, TN

Normandy is a small incorporated town in eastern Bedford County, Middle Tennessee, and with just over a hundred residents it is one of the smallest incorporated towns in Tennessee.

The town was established about 1852 as a railroad town, growing up around the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad's crossing of Norman's Creek.

Normandy sits on the south bank of the Barren Fork of the Duck River at the mouth of Norman's Creek, at the edge of the Eastern Highland Rim.

Normandy was first incorporated in 1858, but the corporation surrendered its charter a few years later, and the town was not incorporated again until 1921.

The town's present municipal charter descends from Chapter 675 of the Private Acts of 1921, the act that reincorporated Normandy.

The 2020 census counted 108 residents in Normandy, down from 141 in both the 2000 and 2010 censuses.

Normandy's population peaked at 207 residents in the 1930 census and has declined through most of the decades since.

In the 2000 census, Normandy's 141 residents lived in 53 households, and the town contained 60 housing units.

The town covers just 0.24 square miles of land in the Duck River valley.

A significant portion of the town forms the Normandy Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985; its 52 structures, 44 of them contributing, date from the 1870s to 1935 and include the former Normandy School, two churches, and late-nineteenth-century Italianate commercial buildings.
