Daily Waypoint | N 36° 09' 45.2" W 86° 46' 17.7" Nashville Skyline over the Cumberland River—Nashville is the capital and most populous city of the state of Tennessee. The city is located on the Cumberland River and is the 23rd most-populous city in the United States. Named for Francis Nash, a general of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, the city was founded in 1779. The city grew quickly due to its strategic location as a port on the Cumberland River and, in the 19th century, a railroad center. A major center for the music industry, especially country music, Nashville is commonly known as "Music City". It is also home to numerous colleges and universities, including Tennessee State University, Vanderbilt University, Belmont University, Fisk University, Trevecca Nazarene University, and Lipscomb University, and is sometimes referred to as "Athens of the South" due to the large number of educational institutions. https://www.fmgphoto.com/Lifestyle/Architecture/i-Kr2MvVK/A #riverbarge #Nashville #Tennessee #MusicCity #NashvilleTennessee #CumberlandRiver #rivertransport #nashvilleskyline #CumberlandPark #cumberlandparknashville #citysunset #urbansunset #discoveramerica #travelpics #travellife #travelinspiration #travelblog #travelphotography #fmgphoto #followingmygps #travelphotography #traveller #photography #travelamerica #lifestyle #LifeWellLived #travelmagazine #roadtripping #exploring #roadtrip (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGcddOHs5Zi/?igshid=1hm2oewybs6vi
