Nashville has a consolidated city-county government which includes seven smaller municipalities in a two-tier system. The population of Nashville-Davidson County stood at six hundred seven thousand, four hundred thirteen as of two thousand five, according to United States Census Bureau estimates. The two thousand five population of the entire thirteen-county Nashville Metropolitan Statistical Area was one million, four hundred ninety-eight thousand, and eight hundred thirty-six making it the largest and fastest-growing metropolitan area in the state. Nashville was founded by James Robertson and a party of Wataugans in seventeen seventy-nine, and was originally called Fort Nashborough , after the American Revolutionary War hero Francis Nash. Nashville quickly grew because of its prime location, accessibility as a river port, and its later status as a major railroad center. In eighteen six, Nashville was incorporated as a city and became the county seat of Davidson County , Tennessee . In eighteen forty-three, the city was named the permanent capital of the state of Tennessee . It was the advent of the Grand Ole Opry in nineteen twenty-five, combined with an already thriving publishing industry that positioned it to become " Music City USA ". In nineteen sixty-three, Nashville consolidated its government with Davidson County and thus became the first major city in the United States to form a metropolitan government. Since the nineteen seventies, the city has experienced tremendous growth, particularly during the economic boom of the nineteen nineties under the leadership of Mayor Phil Bredesen, who made urban renewal a priority, and fostered the construction or renovation of several city landmarks, including the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Nashville Public Library downtown, the Sommet Center , and LP Field. Nashville is the capital and the second most populous city of the U.S. state of Tennessee , after Memphis . It is located on the Cumberland River in Davidson County , in the north-central part of the state. Nashville is a major hub for the health care, music, publishing, and transportation industries.
