History

Also called Berry's Creek and Stapp, Andice is located at the intersection of Farm Roads 2338 and 970, seven miles southwest of Florence in northwest Williamson County. The site was first settled by Joshua Stapp, who built a log structure to serve as a school and church in 1857. In 1876 Andrew Jackson, the proprietor of a small store on Berry Creek near the site of the future town, was appointed postmaster of the Berry's Creek post office, which operated until 1879. Andice's name dates to 1899 when Rev. William Isaac Newton applied for a new post office to be named after his newborn son, Audice. Postal officials misread the name as "Andice" and approved that name. Today, the common pronunciation of the town name is "an-dice". Taking the name's origin into consideration, the correct pronunciation is "an-diss". The latter is the pronunciation used by older, native residents, but is rare amongst younger generations and recent transplants to the area.
