First Street

It was located on the Cumberland River, a tributary of the Ohio River, and flourished as a trading base at first. On First Street along the river, there is a building that retains the historical appearance of the city ordinance, and therefore retains the look of the old warehouse. It became one of the battlefields in the Civil War. There is a building modeled after the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, and it is also known as "Athens in the South."

Today, Nashville, along the Cumberland River, is a crossroads of American culture and the fastest-growing city in Appland South. The music industry has developed as the center of country music, and there are related museums that hold many events. Music Row, located in the southwest of the downtown area, houses nearly 200 large and small music studios, and the Gay Road Opriland Resort and Convention Center, located on the north side of the city, is popular as a resort with country music as its theme.

In the industry, machinery, food and chemical industries are developing as the economic and financial center of the area. In the surrounding towns, there are motor factories such as GM Saturn Factory and Nissan Smana Factory. In the west is Vanderbilt University, a famous Southern family.

The office of the representative of the Nashville office, which was established in January 2008, was upgraded to the Japanese Consulate General in the same year. As a result, the Japanese Consulate General in New Orleans was abolished. In the same year, the head office of Nissan USA was moved from California.

In 1779, James Robertson, John Donnell (father of Rachel Jackson) and Over Mountain Men laid the foundation for the Nashville settlement. They first called the settlement Fort Nashboro after Francis Nash, a hero of the American Revolution. Facing the Cumberland River, a tributary of the Ohio River, Nashville developed rapidly because it was convenient for transportation and distribution, and later became a key point of railway transportation. In 1800, 136 African-American slaves and 345 people were born, including 14 free black people. Nashville became a city in 1806 and became the county office of Davidson County. In 1843, he became the permanent capital of Tennessee.

a river bank after the Civil War

By the time the Civil War broke out in 1861, Nashville was one of the major cities in the south. In the Civil War, it became strategically important to seize Nashville, an important point for water transportation and rail transportation, and in February 1862, Tennessee fell into the hands of the U.S. Army (Northern Army) for the first time in the capital of the Southern Allies, and was occupied by the Northern Army. The overwhelming victory of the Northern Army in the battle of Nashville from December 15 to 16, 1864, is considered the most decisive tactical victory. This was considered the last major military action in the Civil War, and after that, it became a consumable war, including guerrillas and small skirmishes, and the Southern Army retreated one after another to Deep South.

The Civil War had a major impact on the Nashville economy, but as the war ended, Nashville rapidly redeveloped. In the years following the war, Nashville regained its position as a key point of water and rail transport, and its manufacturing industry developed. A classical mansion that still remains around downtown shows the prosperity of Nashville in the late 19th century.

20th century

In 1925, the opening of the Grand All Open, and the publishing industry, which had already been well-developed at that time, decided its role as a source for country music.

Around 1950, the State Council agreed to the single-seat electoral system in the election of members, rather than selecting it from the whole, in consideration of the small-population local bodies. As a result, in some districts, black population was a majority. Two African-American lawyers were elected as city councilors for the first time since a single-seat constituency system was implemented in 1952 and the State Council stripped the Black American right to vote in 1911.

After World War II, the country became more suburban rapidly, and many facilities, such as new schools, were needed. In addition, it was necessary for many suburban residents to revise the tax system by using the facilities that were set up with the tax on residents in the city. After several years of discussion, a referendum was held in 1958 by city and county. Despite recommendations from Davibury Brie, Judge of Davidson County, and Nashville Mayor Ben West, they were unable to agree.

After being rejected by a referendum, Nashville merged the 42 square miles of land in the suburbs to raise tax revenue. This increased the mistrust of the residents and caused anger among the suburban population. In 1962, the government reached an agreement under the Charter of the Metropolitan Government and proposed the provision of two stages of service: the General Service Area and the Urban Service Area, which have different taxes. Residents of the Urban Service District were granted all city services, and the General Services District was denied all services if the tax was set low.

In 1963, the county office and city hall of Davidson County were merged into the first big city in the United States to form a metropolitan government. The number of members of the Metropolitan Assembly in Japan is increased from 21 to 40, and 35 members are selected from the single-seat districts and 5 members are selected from the total.

It has been growing remarkably since the 1970s, and is one of the fastest growing cities in Appland South. In the 1990s, when the economy continued to boom, under the urban redevelopment policy of Phil Bredecen (English), who was then mayor and later became governor of the state, the renovation of the National Museum of Country Music, the Nashville Public Library located in downtown Tokyo, the Bridgestone Arena, and the Nissan Stadium, which were the symbols of Nashville.

Nashville Streets

The Bridgestone Arena, which used to be called the Nashville Arena, the Gaylord Entertainment Center, and the Sommett Center, was built as the home ground of the large concert hall and the NHL or NBA team, and became the home ground of the Nashville Predator, which was newly added when the NHL expanded the number of teams in 1997. Since 2003, the company has been operating a play-off every year, leaving two games behind. The Nissan Stadium, once called Adelfia Coliseum and LP Field, was built in 1995 when Houston Euler agreed to move to Nashville. In 1998, the team debuted at the stadium at Vanderbilt University, and in the summer of 1999, Nissan Stadium (LP Field at the time) opened as its base. The team changed its name to Tennessee Titans, ended the season in Music City Miracle (English), fought against St. Louis Ramps at the 34th Super Bowl, and lost on the 4th day.

21st century

Recovery from the global recession in 2009 was relatively rapid. According to the Gallup Survey in March 2012, Nashville ranked fifth in the United States in the list of job opportunities by region. In 2013, according to the "GQ" magazine, the "Forbes" magazine, and the "New York Times" magazine, Nashville was called "Naeville" or "It's a hot city."

The first female governor, Megan Barry, was elected on September 25, 2015. As a councilor, Barry held Nashville's first same-sex wedding on June 26, 2015.

In 2017, the business world of Nashville ranked third among the cities with outstanding growth nationwide, and in the same year, the Federal Housing Finance Corporation called the "Japan's most popular real estate market".

Tenesian Headquarters

Nashville's daily newspaper is "Tenesian." Until 1998, the company had been competing with 'Nashville Banner,' which was co-operated in the same building. Until 2013, "City Paper," a free daily newspaper, was also read, but now "Tenesian" is the most popular one. The on line "NashvillePost.com" competes with a daily paper on the paper. A weekly booklet called "Nashville Pride," "Nashville Business Journal," "Nashville Scene," and "Tennessee Tribune" have also been published. Historically, "Tenesian" was politically liberal, and "banners" were conservative and handed down to "City Paper." The "scenes" deal with entertainment articles, and the "pride" is aimed at the development of the region and business people.

Nashville has 11 TV stations. Many families watch cable TVs, and the comcast is the majority of Davidson County, but not all. Nashville is the 29th largest TV market in the United States.

road

Nashville is located in the center of the intersection of Interstate Expressway Route 40, 24 and 65. Track 440 connects with each other south of downtown. Briley Street runs along National Route 155 to the north. Major roads that radiate from the central part of the city, such as Clarksville Pike, Gallatin Pike, Lebanon Pike, Murfreeze Boro Pike, and Franklin Pike, are given the names of neighboring cities as "pike."

route bus

The Nashville Metro Transit Authority has operated MTA buses in the city from the newly built downtown hub. The Bus Rapid Transit is planning to expand new routes, and plans to build new trains in the future.

Nashville is considered one of the Piedmont Atlantic Mega Region (English).

aviation

The Nashville International Airport (BNA), a hub for American Airlines from 1986 to 1995, is currently focusing on Southwest Airlines. In 2011, 4,673,047 passengers were the 34th in the U.S. Major airlines, including American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways and Air Canada, are on the train. AirTran Airlines is also operating experimentally.

Although there are no direct flights with Japan at present, direct flights are being considered as a result of the expansion of business between Nissan and Bridgestone and the expansion of many Japanese companies.

Nashville Union station

Although it is the main hub of the CSX Transportation Co., Ltd., as of 2015 Nashville does not have an Amtrak train running as an inter-city operation line, and as of 2015 it is connected to Indianapolis, Chicago and St. Louis by a connecting bus. The Amtrak used the Union Station of Nashville until October 9, 1979, and ran the train Florida to connect Chicago and Florida via Louisville and Nashville, Kentucky.

Although there have been calls at Nashville for the resumption of Amtrak, it remains unclear for a long time, and although the network could attract more visitors if it were expanded, there are no prospects for the resumption due to the state's economic reasons.

commuter railroad

On September 18, 2006, the train music City Star for commuting to school started its operation. It connects Nashville Riverfront in downtown Lebanon and Nashville. We are currently considering the possibility of connectivity with Clarksville, Murfreesboro and Gallatin.

The FRA's response to the Federal Railway Administration Office's duty to introduce the Positive Train Control (PTC) is one of the challenges facing the Japan National Traffic Safety Commission's recommendation in 2008. The Nashville Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) and Nashville & Eastern Railway Company have shown a plan to reduce the operating speed of the FRA and avoid PTC's application conditions, saying that PTC cannot be implemented on the Music City Star Commuter Railway by the end of 2018 due to financial problems. In response to the PTC's request for a permanent exemption, Congressmen sent a letter to Ron Bartley's FRA manager in the joint name asking for a waiver. In order to continue passenger and freight rail transportation, the FRA should not be exempted from PTC, but rather step in to reinforce regulations and support the compliance of railway companies' laws. The parliament has approved the PTC grant and is expected to make a budget, and will raise additional funds in the fiscal year 2019.
