Welcome
Also known as: Hinklesville
… community in N Davidson County. Alt. 860. Formerly called Hinklesville for the Hinkle family residing there. Disagreement arose over selection of a name for the new railroad depot; ultimately, Welcome was selected, either because the decision makers were impressed by the "Welcome" sign over the door of the community store or because, during the dispute over the name, one man declared, "Everybody's welcome here."
