Couchville, Tennessee was a community and U.S. Post Office founded on Stones River prior to 1880 in Davidson County, Tennessee.[1][2][3] Couchville was inundated when J. Percy Priest Lake was formed by impounding Stones River in the mid-1960s.[4] The community's identity is preserved in the name of adjacent Couchville Cedar Glade State Natural Area.[5]
