| During
the winter of 1779–1780, James Robertson and John Donelson founded
a settlement at Big Salt Lick by the Cumberland River at the present
site of the city. They built forts on both sides of the river, naming
one of them Fort Nashborough in honor of Francis Nash, a Revolutionary
War general. In 1784, the town was named Nashville, and it was incorporated
as a city in 1806. |
