Nashville

Nashville is located in both Washington and Knox Townships. The town was formed in 1828 and was built at the major crossroads that took travelers east to Millersburg, west to Mansfield, north to Wooster, and south to Zanesville. This was an ideal location at the time since good roads through the wilderness held great potential for prosperity for the town. Records show that by 1900 Nashville had two hardware stores, a drug store, a millinery shop, three groceries and a dry goods store. There were also three restaurants, two hotels, two barbershops, a blacksmith shop, plus shoe, saddle/harness, and paint shops. Best known was the old hotel, The American House (later renamed The Sherman House) still in use today for apartments.
