Native Americans were the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Shawnee hunted throughout Middle Tennessee in the 1700s. 400 people in North Carolina eventually decided to band together and move to the area. They were attracted by the fertile soil, huge trees, plentiful water, and an abundance of animal life. In 1784 the community incorporated and changed its name to Nashville, dropping the English "borough" as a result of anti-British sentiment.
The "Age of Jackson" was a period in Nashville between 1820 to 1845. Andrew Jackson was a young energetic local lawyer and he was a formidable figure in the new frontier. He fought and won against the British army in New Orleans at the end of the War of 1812. He was embraced as a national hero and served in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. He was eventually elected the 7th president of the United States in 1829.
The mid-1800s was an era of unprecedented development for the city. The Cumberland River made Nashville a shipping and distribution center. Wealthy businessmen built lavish estates. A medical school was founded. The Adelphi Theater opened with a series of plays by Shakespeare. The first passenger train pulled into the depot. A board of education was established. By 1860, all the qualities that had made Nashville such a boom town in times of peace also made it a city of strategic importance in times of war. The war destroyed many of these lavaish estate homes.
The city has undergone major municipal rehabilitation projects, and has renovated the historical district near the old Ft. Nashborough site. Second Avenue, once a row of dilapidated turn-of-the-century warehouses, has become a bustling center of shopping, offices, restaurants, clubs, and apartments. In recent years, many historic buildings have been saved from the wrecking ball.
