Readyville is an unincorporated community primarily located in Cannon County, Tennessee, United States. Its zip code is 37149. It is approximately midway between Murfreesboro and Woodbury. The community was founded by and named for Charles Ready, an early settler who arrived in the area around 1800. His son, also named Charles Ready, was born in Readyville in 1802 and later became a member of the United States House of Representatives for Tennessee's 5th congressional district.Downtown Readyville is located along the east fork of the Stones River. Construction was completed on John Bragg Highway sometime before 1997, which provides a more direct connection between Murfreesboro and Woodbury, circumventing Readyville. Formerly, the only way to travel between the two much larger cities was to travel through downtown Readyville. This is no longer necessary, and traffic through Readyville has dropped significantly.
