Murfreesboro history

In 1811, the Tennessee State Legislature established a county seat for Rutherford County. The town was first named "Cannonsburgh" in honor of Tennessee politician Newton Cannon, but was soon renamed "Murfreesboro" for Revolutionary War hero Colonel Hardy Murfree, later the great-grandfather of author Mary Noailles Murfree.

As Tennessee grew westward, it became clear that having the state capitol in Knoxville would be a burden to those who had to travel from the western end of the state. So in 1819, Murfreesburo became the capital of Tennessee until 1826, when Nashville became the state capitol.

On December 31, 1862 the Battle of Stones River, also called the Battle of Murfreesboro, was fought near Murfreesboro. This was a major engagement of the American Civil War. After the battle, Murfreesboro was used as a supply depot for the Union Army. The battlefield is now a historical site administered by the National Park Service.
