Hermitage Springs is an unincorporated community in Clay County, Tennessee, in the United States.[1]
The community was originally known as Trace, for its location in the Big Trace Creek Valley when the community was established in 1840. It was originally part of Jackson County until the 1870 formation of Clay County. The town was renamed as Spivey[2] in 1889. The town's current name was adopted in the early 1900s when the area became a summer resort town.[3]
