Decherd For The D -



History -

Peter Decherd came to the area in 1831 from Franklin County, Virginia and set up a plantation in Winchester TN.
It came to be known as Hundred Oaks.
In the 1850s he granted right-of-way to the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad from property he owned.

On February 14, 1856, the thirty-first General Assembly of the state of Tennessee incorporated the town of Decherd.
It was done so with all the rights and privileges as the town of Cookeville, which was also incorporated at that time.

After the Civil War, Decherd was again incorporated as a town on January 30, 1868.
It was unincorporated in 1885 to avoid application of the "Four Mile Law".
The "Four Mile Law" permitted liquor sales within four miles of schools located in incorporated communities.
The town was chartered once again by the General Assembly on April 22, 1901.

Decherd is home to a large automobile engine assembly plant owned by Nissan.
Nissan Powertrain Assembly Plant at Decherd launched in 1997 and now produces 1.4 million engines a year.
They are for many Nissan cars, SUVs, and trucks, alongside powertrains for the all-electric Nissan Leaf.
The Nissan Powertrain Plant employs over 1,600 employees.
In 2014 a second plant on the same property was launched to produce engines for Infiniti and Daimler.

Like Elmwood just east of you past Chestnut Mound on 70 with a post office!

 

[SmashVol]

Forgot about it as I was trying to find something with the Enigma name on it and everything around there, including the bridge, is gone LOL. Did get an F one. Must have rode by Elmwood, because I was headed Granville and made a right turn before doing that and ended up in Demo's in Lebanon. Food got on my mind!

Yeppers, it's about half way between Carthage and Chestnut Mount and the post office is right on 70N.
About 25 miles east of Cookeville - a lunch break run for you!

 

[SmashVol]

Yeah, that is the reason I missed it as I hit 40 instead of 70. Knew I should have went that way! Hope all is well with you and Andy!

E-Elmwood, Big metropolis in Smith County, Tennessee, mainly known for the for the zinc mine located nearby.

 

[Uncle Phil]

You've got to save the 'F' for the next 'round' as you can't post the next consecutive letter yourself until 30 days has passed.
Or someone else posts a 'F' then you can post the 'G'.
I did the same thing before I was 'told'.

 

[SmashVol]

Oh ok, oops sorry.

 

[Uncle Phil]

Oh ok, oops sorry.

Don't feel bad - I did the same thing.
I'm just glad you are in the game!
