| Tennessee | State law provides that counties are headed by an elected county executive who uses the title of "county mayor". Exceptions are the three counties (Davidson, Moore, and Trousdale) that have consolidated city-county government, where the position is not used, and certain counties where a private act of the state legislature authorizes the executive to use the previous title of "county executive". Historically, the position was called "county judge". | Tennessee Code Annotated 5-6-101[[http://www.michie.com/tennessee/lpext.dll/tncode/32d7/35e7/35ea/35ff 5-6-101.
