Old Jefferson
William Nash opened the first store here in 1803; first country courthouse was here in 1804, following first meeting of court at Thomas Rucker's house. It was a stopping place on the Georgia Road, & an important river port & trading post. In 1811, the county seat moved to Murfreesboro; thereafter, until 1815, the courthouse housed Jefferson Seminary of Learning.
