  • Nashville (also known as Nashville-on-the-Brazos) was a community, now a ghost town, on the southeast bank of the Brazos River in present-day Milam County, Texas, United States. The town was surveyed in the fall of 1835, with Sterling C. Robertson as its founder. It was named in honor of Nashville, Tennessee, Robertson's birthplace. The town served as the headquarters for Robertson's Colony. In January 1836, the settlement was attacked by Indians in the area. Two people were killed, which led to the formation of Robertson's Ranger Company. The rangers constructed at the falls of the Brazos and a second at the three forks of the Little River. Nashville was also designated the seat of justice for Milam municipality in 1836. Following the Texas Revolution, Nashville was considered by the Texas Congress as a possible site for the capital of the Republic of Texas. From 1837 to 1846, the town served as the Milam County seat. It began to slowly decline after 1846, when the state legislature moved the county seat to Cameron. In 1868, the arrival of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad at nearby Hearne provided the remaining residents with the incentive to move. The town's post office closed that same year. A chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, with additional funds from Milam County, bought seven acres of the former Nashville site and deeded it to the state of Texas in 1927. Nashville was remembered during the Texas Centennial with the addition of several historic markers along U.S. Highway 79, about 5 miles northeast of Gause and 5 miles west of Hearne. (en)

Nel gennaio 1836, l'insediamento fu attaccato dagli indiani nell'area. Due persone furono uccise. Ciò ha portato alla formazione della Sterling C. Robertson's Ranger Company. I ranger costruirono alle cascate del Brazos e un secondo alle tre forcelle del fiume Little. Nashville fu anche designata capoluogo di giustizia della municipalità di Milam nel 1836. Dopo la Rivoluzione texana, Nashville fu considerata dal Congresso del Texas come un possibile sito per la capitale della Repubblica del Texas. Dal 1837 al 1846, la città servì come capoluogo della contea di Milam. Cominciò a declinare lentamente dopo il 1846, quando la legislatura statale spostò il capoluogo di contea a Cameron. Nel 1868, l'arrivo della Houston and Texas Central Railway nella vicina Hearne fornì ai rimanenti abitanti l'incentivo a trasferirsi. L'ufficio postale della città chiuse nello stesso anno. Un capitolo delle figlie della rivoluzione americana, con ulteriori fondi dalla contea di Milam, comprò sette acri dell'ex sito di Nashville e lo cedette allo stato del Texas nel 1927. Nashville fu ricordata durante il Centenario del Texas con l'aggiunta di diversi cartelli storici lungo la U.S. Highway 79, a circa cinque miglia a nord-est di Gause e cinque miglia a ovest di Hearne.
