First settlers came in 1799; the settlement was first named Cannonsburg. It was actually founded in 1811 on land donated by Capt. William Lytle, who stipulated that the town should be named for Hardee Murfree, a Revolution ary veteran of Williamson County. From June, 1818 through April, 1828, it was the capital of the state.

Erected by Tennessee Historical Commission.
