History
The boundaries and demographics of South Nashville have changed over the last 150 years, understandably so. It originally started as an industrial blue-collar area comprised mainly of factories, mills, and rail yards. As the area grew, thousands moved into the area looking for employment and more affordable housing. South Nashville has been the most diverse part of the city and during the past 30 years, changes have transformed the appearance with urban renewal programs, construction of interstate highways, and a renewal and removal of thousands of buildings. Today, this area faces new challenges as many established neighborhoods deal with gentrification. There’s even an entire book based on the demographics and gentrification of South Nashville.
