This article states that Nashville won the vote to become the permenant state capital by one vote over Charlotte. According to the Sparta, TN website it was Sparta that lost by one vote (refer to the "History" link in the middle of the page, then to the article titled "Spartans Rebuild War-Torn City". I grew up in Sparta and remember hearing that it lost by one vote. I also remember hearing that Nashville gave the final voter a beer to swing the vote in its favor. Not sure if there is any truth in that or not. Maybe someone can find a real answer. David 15:28, October 23 2009 —Preceding undated comment added 19:29, 23 October 2009 (UTC).[reply]

• Nashville's Streetcar Boycott
• East Nashville fire of 1916
• others?

This article should mention something about Thomas Molloy who laid out first plan of Nashville in 1784 consisting of 4-acre lots near the Cumberland River and Fort Nashboro. Kaldari 23:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Odd to have an article with no mention of slavery's role in Middle Tennessee and Nashville, basis of economy, proportion of population before the Civil War, turn of the 20th century, etc. Parkwells (talk) 03:39, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What is missing from the city timeline? Please add relevant content. Thank you. -- M2545 (talk) 10:58, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it a bit misleading to show a picture of Cahokia (esp. w/o a legend indicating that the site is states and a number of miles away) in an article on a city in Tennessee? (It would be like having a photograph of the Manhattan skyline for a section on 20th-century economic development in Nashville.) Kdammers (talk) 16:28, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The intro says this:

<This article pertains to the history of Nashville, the state capital of Tennessee. Native Americans had not lived in the area in the century before a frontier post of Fort Nashborough was built here in 1779 by pioneers from North Carolina.>

But we were just at Fort Nashborough and the sign says that the fort was built as protection from the native Americans, who were obviously there. Maybe this should be edited? Kelly1952 (talk) 22:59, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
