Nashville is a Music City with Educational Prospects

General Francis Nash, a Revolutionary War hero, settled Nashville over 200 years ago. It started as a fort on the Cumberland River. In the 1790's, the city grew and the first school, Davidson Academy, was erected. During these years, Andrew Jackson became a prosecutor and Bob Renfroe opened the first tavern owned by a freed African-American. In 1796, Tennessee became the 16th State.

During the 19th century, Tennessee became the “Volunteer State” because it sent hundreds of soldiers to fight in the War of 1812. The year 1824 brought the music industry to Nashville when Western Harmony, a hymnal, was printed. In the twenty-five years after the Civil War, four universities were founded. Tennessean Edward Barnard discovered Jupiter's fifth moon. Life in Nashville kept evolving in the twentieth century. Major events included the Women's Suffrage movement and African-American streetcar boycotts. In post-World War II Nashville, theaters and recording studios,including RCA, popped up throughout the city. Even in the twenty-first century, things are booming in this city,especially in the music business. While there aren't as many teaching and tutoring positions in Nashville as other areas, there are 915 positions within 15 miles of the city, according to Simply Hired.
