Lakewood is a city in Davidson County, Tennessee, United States. The population was 2,341 at the 2000 census. Originally incorporated as Dupontonia in 1959 (in reference to the DuPont rayon manufacturing facility located nearby), the city changed its name to Lakewood and reincorporated in 1961. In 1963, the governments of Davidson County and the City of Nashville merged to form a consolidated metropolitan government. Lakewood chose to remain autonomous. It operates its own city council and funds its own police department. Because of this, Lakewood is known by many as a “speed trap” along State Route 45.
