4. Murfreesboro
The geographical center of Tennessee is Murfreesboro.
How do we know this……
In 1834, the State of Tennessee hired professor James Hamilton to locate the state capital as near as possible to the center of the state. However, certain circumstances and politics left the capital in Nashville, although Governor James Knox Polk wanted it moved to Murfreesboro. In 1976, 1/2 mile northeast on Old Lacassas Road, an obelisk was placed by the Rutherford county Historical Society at the state’s geographic center.
