Murfreesboro (pop. 81,000) was the state capital of Tennessee from 1818 to 1826 but lost to Nashville by one vote to retain the seat of government. The Rutherford County Courthouse was the site of an attack by Gen Nathan Bedford Forrest and his Confederate troops on Union troops that were camped northwest of the town.
