Lavergne

Take W. Main, right on Broad Street heading north on US 41/70S through Smyrna (18.47 miles)

“La Vergne,” translated from the French, means “the Arbor.” Francois Leonard Gregoise de Rouhlac, an early settler, thought this name was perfect for the area’s lush, open landscape. John Hill, Rouhlac’s so-in-law, laid out the original town in 1852, and it soon became a freight stop on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad. Incorporated in 1972, La Vergne is the county’s third largest town.
