Black Fox was a legendary Cherokee who, by the 1790s, had established a camp and trading post at the spring that bears his name. The place became known as the Black Fox Camp and later became an antebellum crossroads village. Ironically, it was a stopping place on the forced march of the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears. From 1914 to 1940, the City of Murfreesboro operated a municipal water source at the spring. Today, the wetlands and a school are named for Black Fox.
