Coopertown is a town in southern Robertson County. It is a self described "bedroom community." Located in Middle Tennessee, Coopertown is part of the Nashville Davidson–Murfreesboro–Franklin, TN Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2020 census, the population was 4,480.

In January 2006, Coopertown was called "one of the more blatant examples of speed traps" in the country by a spokesperson for the National Motorists Association (NMA). The town's mayor, Danny Crosby, defended the increased enforcement of lowered speed limits, citing the need to combat speeders using Highway 49 as a shortcut between I 24 and I 65. That complaint seeks to remove Crosby from office, due to acts of willful misconduct related to the speed traps, as well as other abuses of power. In later years, the part of Middle Tennessee that was to become the Coopertown community was claimed as territorial hunting grounds by both the Cherokee and the Chickasaw. That area was at the southern edge of what became known as the Transylvania Purchase, land purchased in 1775 from the Cherokee by Richard Henderson, a North Carolina land speculator seeking to establish a 14th colony. Although Transylvania, the proposed 14th colony, was never recognized, the area was settled by immigrants in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. David Naive settled there in 1825, and the area became known as Naive's Crossroads. During subsequent years, the county's involvement in the production of barrels and whiskey led to the establishment of one or more cooper shops in the community, making barrels for the nearby Red River mills. In August 2005, Coopertown Middle School opened, serving grades 6 to 8, and in 2007, grades 4 and 5 would move to the middle school. In July 2016, ground breaking occurred with Lowe's to build a 1.2 million sq. ft. fulfillment distribution center to employ 400 people and ramping up to 600 people. The facility opened in July 2018. It is located on York Rd. which is off I 24 at exit 24. On January 7, 2019, a drive by shooting occurred at a home on the 3600 block of Old Coopertown Road at 3:00 AM, nobody was injured but the home was damaged.
