Nashville started the same as many states in the U.S.  In the 1700s, it was made up of farmers and hunters.  It wasn’t until the 1800s that it started to develop the reputation is has today.

The first world renowned group to come from Nashville was the Fisk Jubilee Singers from Nashville Fisk University.  They toured around and travelled to England to play for the Queen. When she heard them play, she was so impressed that she said that they must be from the “Music City.”

Radio station WSM, also called the Grand Ole Opry, was launched in 1925.  The Grand Ole Opry only reinforced Nashville’s nickname.  It has continued to be an icon of Nashville and country music.
