History of Nashville

Founded as Fort Nashborough in 1779, the city of Nashville is actually older than both the U.S. Constitution and the state of Tennessee. It was not only one of the gateways to the west before the entire United States was settled, but it was also the state capital for a period of time as well.

And while we canÕt likely can't trace Nashville's musical roots back quite that far, the city had a distinctly rhythmic reputation as far back as the late 1800s. Specifically, the wildly popular local act Fisk Jubilee Singers performed for Queen Victoria, and the theater that would become The Ryman Auditorium was completed in 1892 (long before the Grand Ole Opry was a twinkle in the city's metaphoric eye). Shortly thereafter it gained a reputation as the "Carnegie Hall of the South", and the rest is history.

With all the events in Nashville today, there is always something new and fun to do, whether you're looking for Nashville events in April or Nashville summer events. Check out this site's calendar for tickets to Nashville's best concerts and events.
