Hampshire Unit School

Hampshire is an unincorporated community in Maury County, Tennessee, United States.[1]

Education[edit]

Hampshire Unit School, enrolling kindergarten through grade 12, is operated as a unit of Maury County Public Schools.[2]

Police protection[edit]

Since Hampshire is unincorporated, no government body represents the town personally to provide a police service. The Maury County Sheriff's Office maintains all law enforcement duties. Constables also have concurrent jurisdiction with the sheriff; however, they rarely exercise such authority.

Fire protection[edit]

Hampshire is protected by the Hampshire Fire Department, division of the Maury County Fire Department.

Events[edit]

Hampshire recently began its annual "Hampshire Jubilee and Festival," which includes vendors, food trucks, and live music.
