The community takes its name from Antioch, Turkey, an ancient city in Anatolia. As recently as the 1960s Antioch was a small community catering to the needs of area farmers with amenities such as a feed mill. Adjacent to Bakertown (a similar small community), it was on the banks of Mill Creek, a minor tributary of the Cumberland River that rises near Nolensville, several miles to the southeast.
In the 1970s, Antioch experienced explosive growth, largely due to the expansion of the Nashville sewer system to the area and the availability of large amounts of former farmland, which made possible the construction of many low-rise apartment complexes,
The most important business concentration in Antioch is Global Mall at the Crossings, formerly Hickory Hollow Mall, which opened in 1978.
