Fort Nashborough

The original stockade fronted on the river slightly north of here, covering and area of about two acres. In that enclosure, on May 13, 1780, representatives of this and other settlements met and adopted the Cumberland Compact for the government of the new settlement. About 500 yards west, April 2, 1781, settlers, assisted by dogs, drove off the Indians in the Battle of the Bluffs.

Marker is on 1st Avenue North 0.1 miles south of Church Street, on the right when traveling north.
