Belle Meade traces its origins to Belle Meade Plantation, a 5,300 acres (2,100 ha) estate established in 1807 by John Harding and expanded by his son William Giles Harding, who built an imposing mansion on the property with the labor of enslaved African people. The Civil War took a heavy toll on the plantation, and after subsequent financial setbacks the property was subdivided in 1906. The city of Belle Meade was incorporated in 1938 on part of that land, along with adjoining property that later became Cheekwood Botanical Gardens, portions of Percy Warner Park, the Belle Meade Country Club, and residential development.
Among the early developers, Johnson Bransford commissioned noted landscape architect Ossian Cole Simonds to design the Belle Meade Links subdivision, while Luke Lea, working independently, secured a country club and golf course to relocate there and guided the layout of broad Belle Meade Boulevard, a focal point of the city that terminates at the entrance to Percy Warner Park.
