Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville was originally founded in 1779 and called Fort Nashborough, after the Revolutionary War hero Francis Nash. It was later made the state’s capital in 1843. Because of it’s convenient river ports, it quickly grew as an area of commerce and latter a major railroad hub. Currently, it is the second most populated city in the state of Tennessee after Memphis.
After the creation of the Grand Ole Opry in 1925 it became known as “Music City USA”. This was helped by the already flourishing publishing industry in the area. Although it is still a major area for these two industries, it also has a major health care sector and has both a strong banking sector and is known as a transportation hub. At this time, it is the fastest growing city in the Upper South.
