Burwood, Tennessee, is an unincorporated community in southwestern Williamson County, Tennessee.
The hamlet was "originally named Williamsburg, later Shaw and ultimately Burwood." [1]
In the middle decades of the 20th century, Burwood was a rural community that served as a trading center for area farmers, while much business moved to the city of Franklin. [2]
Burwood is the location of the John Pope House and the Huff Store, which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [3]
The opening, in 2012, of the segment of SR 840 (now signed as Interstate 840) near Burwood was expected to lead to increased economic activity in the community. [4]
