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 Hardy Murfree, a Revolution ary veteran of Williamson County. From June, 1818, through April 1826, it was the capital of the State.
