Martin College
Thomas Martin founded Martin Female College in 1870, to fulfill the wish of his dying daughter for a girls' school in Giles County.
Its first president was William K. Jones. Fire destroyed it in 1904. It became coeducational in 1937.
The Methodist Church now operates it as a accredited junior college.
