Nashville was founded on Christmas day in 1779 on a bluff overlooking the Cumberland River. Its riverfront birthplace remained the heart of the settlement and grew into what is now Downtown Nashville. A replica of Fort Nashboro stands in Riverfront Park as a reminder of those earliest days. Most of the nearby nineteenth century buildings are included in three National Register Historic Districts - Second Avenue, Broadway, and Printer's Alley - which are collectively referred to as the District, now the entertainment hub of the central city.
