Rover is a community located in the North West corner of Bedford Co. 

From the new Rover History Book Vol. II Dick Poplin writes: “Since the Tenth District is in the northwestern corner of Bedford County and adjacent to Rutherford County, it has had close connection with some of the communities in that county, closer than with some Bedford County communities. In the beginning, Eagleville to the northwest and Versailles to the northeast were in Williamson County, and that county had a great influence on our area. There is indication that there was some shifting of county lines in early days so that some of what is now the tenth district of Bedford County may have been in Williamson County even though we would be hard-pressed to find official records of those changes in the county line. Some who were known to have lived in what is now Bedford County were included in the Williamson County census of 1830.”

A committee has been formed twice to write the history of the district. A book was published in 1986. Copies quickly sold out and since there seemed to be a demand for a reprinting, a new committee was formed in 1998 for the purpose of updating the book, making corrections and then reprinting the original book. Due to the amount of new material turned in, it was decided to write a Vol. II. Both Vol. I and Vol. II are now available.
