About Nashville
Although mention of "Nashville" calls to mind country music's heartfelt travails and longings, Tennessee's capital city - despite songwriter laments - laughs all the way to the bank. The music industry plays a major role in the city's prominence, and Nashville proudly claims the title "Music City USA" as a result. This is just the latest incarnation, though, of a prominent Southern city that has risen from a fur-trading station to become the "Athens of the South." Founded as Nashborough in the late 18th century, the small settlement gained fame with a decisive victory against the British during the War of 1812. The battle, led by Andrew Jackson, propelled the local attorney towards a political career and then to the presidency in 1829. After the Civil War - when the strategic port on the Cumberland River was under Union control - the city gained newfound prosperity, showcasing its wealth in impressive architecture and the founding of universities (Vanderbilt and Fisk). These days, Nashville revels in the energy of its honky tonks and live music venues, which offer an intriguing foil to the reserved presence of state government. Popular clubs go hand-in-hand with other Nashville attractions, like the opulent Belmont Mansion, the Parthenon, NFL's Tennessee Titans, and the Grand Ole Opry and Country Music Hall of Fame. And along with music, industries like publishing, automotive production, and healthcare help define the city's business climate. Still, when entertainment options in The District have worn you out and the workday is done, take comfort in a plate of slow-cooked barbecue or a meat-and-three feast, both examples of the down-home ease that grounds this city of Southern style and performance glitz.
