Nashville didirikan oleh James Robertson, John Donelson, dan sekelompok perkumpulan Watauga pada tahun 1779, dan pada awalnya disebut Fort Nashborough, mengikuti nama pahlawan [[Perang Revolusi Amerika]], [[Francis Nash]]. Nashville cepat berkembang karena lokasinya yang strategis, berperan sebagai dermaga sungai, dan status terakhirnya sebagai pusat perkeretaapian utama. Pada tahun 1806, Nashville berupa korporasi munisipal sebagai sebuah kota dan menjadi pusat pemerintahan County Davidson. Pada tahun 1843, kota ini dijadikan pusat pemerintahan negara bagian Tennessee.

Pada 1860, ketika [[Perang Saudara Amerika|gemuruh pemisahan pertama]] mulai terdengar melintasi [[Amerika Serikat Selatan]], [[Nashville sebelum perang]] adalah kota yang sejahtera. Kepentingan kota sebagai pelabuhan pengapalan membuatnya menjadi hadiah yang diharapkan sebagai makna pengawasan jalur transportasi rel kereta dan sungai penting. Pada Februari 1862, Nashville menjadi ibukotaibu kota pertama negara bagian yang jatuh ke tentara Uni. [[Perang Nashville]] (15–16 Desember 1864) adalah kejayaan Uni yang penting dan mungkin kejayaan taktis yang paling menentukan yang didapatkan oleh masing-masing pihak di dalam perang itu.

Though the Civil War left Nashville in dire economic straits, the city quickly rebounded.{{Citation needed|date=June 2007}} Within a few years, the city had reclaimed its important shipping and trading position and also developed a solid [[manufacturing]] base. The post-Civil War years of the late 19th century brought a newfound prosperity to Nashville. These healthy economic times left the city with a legacy of grand classical-style buildings, which can still be seen around the downtown area.
Today the city along the [[Cumberland River]] is a crossroads of American culture, and one of the fastest-growing areas of the [[Upper South]].

The downtown area of Nashville features a diverse assortment of entertainment, dining, cultural and architectural attractions. The Broadway and 2nd Avenue areas feature entertainment venues, night clubs and an assortment of restaurants. North of Broadway lies Nashville's [[central business district]], Legislative Plaza, Capitol Hill and the [[Bicentennial Mall State Park|Tennessee Bicentennial Mall]].

The downtown area of Nashville is easily accessible. Three major interstate highways (I-40, I-65 and I-24) converge near the core area of downtown, and many regional cities are within a day's driving distance.
Nashville's first skyscraper, the [[Life & Casualty Tower]], was completed in 1957 and started the construction of high rises in downtown Nashville. After the construction of the [[AT&T Building (Nashville)|AT&T Building]] in 1994, the downtown area saw little construction until the mid-2000s. Many new residential developments have been constructed or are planned for the various neighborhoods of downtown and midtown. A new high rise office building, [[The Pinnacle at Symphony Place|The Pinnacle]], was recently opened in 2010.<ref>{{cite news|title=Gallery: Grand opening for Pinnacle tower|work=Nashville Business Journal|date=February 11, 2010|url=http://nashville.bizjournals.com/nashville/stories/2010/02/08/daily23.html|accessdate=2010-02-17}}</ref>
Many civic and infrastructure projects are either being planned, in progress, or recently completed. A new MTA bus hub was recently completed in downtown Nashville, as was the [[Music City Star]] pilot project. Several public parks have been constructed, such as the Public Square. Riverfront Park is scheduled to be extensively updated. The [[Music City Center]], a convention center project, has been approved for the downtown area and is currently under construction.

Nashville has a vibrant music and entertainment scene spanning a variety of genres. The [[Tennessee Performing Arts Center]] is the major performing arts center of the city. It is the home of the Tennessee Repertory Theatre, the [[Nashville Opera]], and [[Nashville Ballet]]. In September 2006, the [[Schermerhorn Symphony Center]] opened as the home of the [[Nashville Symphony Orchestra]].
As the city's name itself is a [[metonym]] for the country music industry, many popular tourist sites involve [[country music]], including the [[Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum]], [[Belcourt Theatre]], and [[Ryman Auditorium]]. Ryman was home to the ''[[Grand Ole Opry]]'' until 1974 when the show moved to the Grand Ole Opry House nine miles (14 km) east of downtown. The ''Opry'' plays there several times a week, except for an annual winter run at the Ryman.
Numerous music clubs and [[honky tonk]] bars can be found in downtown Nashville, especially the area encompassing [[Lower Broadway]], Second Avenue, and [[Printer's Alley]], which is often referred to as "the District".<ref>{{cite book|title=Frommer's Nashville & Memphis|first=Linda|last=Romine|year=2006|edition=7th|pages=117–120}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Insiders' Guide to Nashville|first1=Cindy Stooksbury|last1=Guier|first2=Jackie Sheckler|last2=Finch|year=2007|edition=6th|pages=118–129}}</ref>
Each year, the [[CMA Music Festival]] (formerly known as Fan Fair) brings thousands of country fans to the city.
Nashville was once home of television shows such as ''[[Hee Haw]]'' and ''[[Pop! Goes the Country]]'', and to the [[Opryland USA|Opryland USA theme park]], which operated from 1972 to 1997 before being closed by its owners [[Gaylord Entertainment]], and soon after demolished to make room for the [[Opry Mills]] mega-[[shopping mall]].
The [[Contemporary Christian Music|Christian pop and rock music]] industry is based along Nashville's [[Music Row]], with a great influence in neighboring [[Williamson County, Tennessee|Williamson County]]. The Christian record companies include [[EMI Christian Music Group]], [[Provident Label Group]] and [[Word Records]].

Although Nashville was never known as a jazz town, it did have many great jazz bands including The Nashville Jazz Machine led by Dave Converse and its current version, the Nashville Jazz Orchestra, led by Jim Williamson, as well as The Establishment, led by Billy Adair. The Francis Craig Orchestra entertained Nashvillians from 1929 to 1945 from the Oak Bar and Grille Room in the Hermitage Hotel. Craig's orchestra was also the first to broadcast over local radio station WSM-AM and enjoyed phenomenal success with a 12-year show on the [[NBC Red Network|NBC Radio]] Network. In the late 1930s, he introduced a newcomer, [[Dinah Shore]], a local graduate of Hume Fogg High School and Vanderbilt University.
Radio station [[WMOT|WMOT-FM]] in nearby [[Murfreesboro, Tennessee|Murfreesboro]] has aided significantly in the recent revival of the city's jazz scene, as has the non-profit [http://www.nashvillejazz.org/ Nashville Jazz Workshop], which holds concerts and classes in a renovated building in the north Nashville neighborhood of Germantown. [[Fisk University]] also maintains a jazz station.

{{Main|Media in Nashville, Tennessee}}
[[File:Tennessean office.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Offices for ''[[The Tennessean]]'']]
The daily newspaper in Nashville is ''[[The Tennessean]]'', which, until 1998, competed fiercely with the ''[[Nashville Banner]]'', another daily paper that was housed in the same building under a joint-operating agreement. ''The Tennessean'' is the cities' most widely circulated newspaper, while a smaller free daily called ''[[The City Paper]]'' shares the Nashville market. Online news service ''[[NashvillePost.com]]'' competes with the printed dailies to break local and state news. Several weekly papers are also published in Nashville, including ''[[The Nashville Pride]]'', ''[[Nashville Business Journal]]'', ''[[Nashville Scene]]'' and ''[[The Tennessee Tribune]]''. Historically, ''The Tennessean'' was associated with a broadly liberal editorial policy, while ''The Banner'' carried staunchly conservative views in its editorial pages; ''The Banner''{{'}}s heritage is carried on these days by ''The City Paper''. The ''Nashville Scene'' is the area's [[alternative weekly]] broadsheet. ''The Nashville Pride'' is aimed towards community development and serves Nashville's entrepreneurial population.
Nashville is home to nearly a dozen broadcast television stations, although most households are served by direct [[Cable television|cable]] network connections. [[Comcast|Comcast Cable]] has a monopoly on terrestrial cable service in Davidson County (but not throughout the entire [[media market]]). Nashville is ranked as the 29th largest television market in the United States.<ref>[http://www.tvb.org/rcentral/markettrack/us_hh_by_dma.asp DMA Rankings - US TV Households by Market]</ref>
Nashville is also home to cable networks [[Country Music Television]] (CMT), [[Great American Country]] (GAC), and [[RFD-TV]], among others. CMT's [[Master Control]] facilities are located in [[New York City]] with the other [[Viacom]] properties. The Top 20 Countdown and CMT Insider are taped in their Nashville studios. Nashville is also the home and namesake of the [[NBC]] country music singing competition ''[[Nashville Star]]'', which broadcasts from the [[Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center|Opryland complex]].

The City of Nashville and Davidson County merged in 1963 as a way for Nashville to combat the problems of [[urban sprawl]]. The combined entity is officially known as "the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County", and is popularly known as "Metro Nashville" or simply "Metro". It offers services such as [[Metropolitan Nashville Police Department|police]], [[Nashville Fire Department|fire]], [[Nashville Electric Service|electricity]], [[Metro Water Services|water and sewage treatment]]. When the Metro government was formed in 1963, the government was split into two service districts—the "urban services district" and the "general services district." The urban services district encompasses the 1963 boundaries of the former City of Nashville, and the general services district includes the remainder of Davidson County. There are seven smaller municipalities within the consolidated city-county: [[Belle Meade, Tennessee|Belle Meade]], [[Berry Hill, Tennessee|Berry Hill]], [[Forest Hills, Tennessee|Forest Hills]], [[Lakewood, Tennessee|Lakewood]], [[Oak Hill, Tennessee|Oak Hill]], [[Goodlettsville, Tennessee|Goodlettsville]] (partially), and [[Ridgetop, Tennessee|Ridgetop]] (partially). These municipalities use a two-tier system of government, with the smaller municipality typically providing police services and the Metro Nashville government providing most other services. In 2010, Lakewood voters passed a referendum (by one vote) to dissolve its city charter and join the metropolitan government<ref>http://www.wsmv.com/news/24539792/detail.html</ref>.
Nashville is governed by a mayor, vice-mayor, and 40-member Metropolitan Council. It uses the strong-mayor form of the [[mayor-council government|mayor-council system]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Rein of Council redefines mayoral relationship|work=City Paper|url=http://www.nashvillecitypaper.com/news.php?viewStory=32177|date=April 9, 2004|accessdate=2008-08-04|quote=Traditionally Nashville has had a strong mayor/weak council system of government.}}</ref> The current mayor of Nashville is [[Karl Dean]]. The Metropolitan Council is the legislative body of government for Nashville and Davidson County. There are 5 council members who are elected at large and 35 council members that represent individual districts. The Metro Council has regular meetings that are presided over by the vice-mayor, who is currently [[Diane Neighbors]]. The Metro Council meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m., according to the Metropolitan Charter.

=== Politik ===
<!--
Nashville has been a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] stronghold since at least the end of [[Reconstruction era of the United States|Reconstruction]]. While local elections are officially nonpartisan, nearly all of the city's elected officials are known to be Democrats. At the state level, Democrats hold all but one of the city's state house districts and all but one of the city's state senate districts.
Democrats are no less dominant at the federal level. Over the past 100 years, Democratic presidential candidates have carried Nashville/Davidson County in 4 out of 5 elections. Normally, Democrats carry Nashville at the presidential level with relatively little difficulty. In the 2000 presidential election, [[Al Gore]] carried Nashville with over 59% of the vote even as he narrowly lost his home state. In the 2004 election, [[John Kerry]] carried Nashville with 55% of the vote even as [[George W. Bush]] won the state by 14 points. In 2008, [[Barack Obama]] carried Nashville with 60 percent of the vote even as [[John McCain]] won Tennessee by 15 points.
At the federal level, Nashville is split between two [[congressional district]]s. Nearly all of the city is in the [[Tennessee's 5th congressional district|5th District]], currently represented by Democrat [[Jim Cooper]]. A Republican has not represented a significant portion of Nashville since 1874. While Republicans made a few spirited challenges in the mid-1960s and early 1970s, they have not made a serious bid for the district since 1972, when the Republican candidate gained only 38% of the vote even as Nixon carried the district in the presidential election by a large margin. The district's best-known congressman was probably [[Jo Byrns]], who represented the district from 1909 to 1936 and was [[Speaker of the United States House of Representatives|Speaker of the House]] for much of [[Franklin Roosevelt]]'s first term as President. Another nationally prominent congressman from Nashville was [[Percy Priest]], who represented the district from 1941 to 1956 and was [[House Majority Whip]] from 1949 to 1953. Former mayors [[Richard Fulton]] and [[Bill Boner]] also sat in the U.S. House before assuming the Metro mayoral office.
All of Nashville was located in a single district for most of the time from Reconstruction until the 2000 Census, when a small portion of southwestern Nashville was drawn into the heavily Republican [[Tennessee's 7th congressional district|7th District]]. That district is currently represented by [[Marsha Blackburn]] of neighboring Williamson County; Blackburn represented much of the Nashville share of the 7th in the state senate from 1998 to 2002.

Nashville is centrally located at the crossroads of three [[Interstate Highway]]s: [[Interstate 40|I-40]], [[Interstate 24|I-24]], and [[Interstate 65|I-65]]. [[Interstate 440 (Tennessee)|Interstate 440]] is a bypass route connecting I-40, I-65, and I-24 south of downtown Nashville. [[Tennessee State Route 155|Briley Parkway]] connects the north side of the city and its interstates.
The [[Nashville Metropolitan Transit Authority|Metropolitan Transit Authority]] provides bus transit within the city, out of a newly built hub station downtown. Routes utilize a hub and spoke method. Expansion plans include use of [[Bus rapid transit]] for new routes, with the possibility for local rail service at some point in the future.
Nashville is considered a gateway city for rail and air traffic for the [[Piedmont Atlantic MegaRegion]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cqgrd.gatech.edu/megaregions/PAM.php|title=Georgia Tech - MegaRegions|accessdate=2009-01-01}}</ref>
The city is served by [[Nashville International Airport]], which was a hub for [[American Airlines]] between 1986 and 1995 and is now a mini-hub for [[Southwest Airlines]].
Although it is a major rail hub, with a large [[CSX Transportation]] freight rail yard, Nashville is one of the largest cities in the U.S. not served by [[Amtrak]].
Nashville launched a passenger commuter rail system called the [[Music City Star]] on September 18, 2006. The only currently operational leg of the system connects the city of Lebanon to downtown Nashville at the [[Nashville Riverfront railroad station|Nashville Riverfront]]. Legs to Murfreesboro and Gallatin are currently in the feasibility study stage. The system plan includes seven legs connecting Nashville to surrounding suburbs.
