in the northeastern corner of Montgomery County
, Tennessee
, United States
, approximately five miles east of Clarksville
. It is conveniently located near Exit 11 of Interstate 24
, and approximately 30 minutes northwest of Nashville

Once primarily a rural
community consisting largely of prime farm
land, the rapid rate of development in recent years indicates that it is quickly becoming one of the most desirable areas in Montgomery County to live in the eyes of many people. Many new housing developments have gone up in the past few years.
As Sango is neither an incorporated community nor a census-designated place
, it has no clearly defined boundaries, and a population for the community would be difficult to determine with any degree of precision. It roughly covers an area stretching from U.S. Route 41 Alternate to just beyond Interstate 24. The growth of the area is perhaps best demonstrated by the huge increase in telephone
numbers with the Sango prefix of 358. Many of the people on the 358 exchange who claim to live in Sango actually live within the Clarksville city limits.
