Murfreesboro was recognized as an official city in 1817; and from 1818 to 1826; it was the capital of Tennessee. In its early years; the town established itself as a rich agricultural community. By 1853; the area was home to three colleges and several academies. Murfreesboro played a decisive role in the Civil War and suffered the loss of many of its people and much of its architecture. However; in the early 20th century; Murfreesboro regained its momentum and began to rebuild. Many of the buildings from this era still exist today and stand as great reminders of the town�s past.
