Smyrna Information The Town of Smyrna finds its roots in the mid 1800's as an agrarian community with many large farms and plantations flourishing in the area. One of the more significant plantations, the Sam Davis Home, is Smyrna's most historic landmark and is designated as a state historical site. The plantation was home of the heroic Sam Davis who offered his life rather than reveal to the Union soldiers information that would compromise the Confederate war effort. Since then it has grown and flourished with the addtion of industry including one of the largest car manufacturing sites under one roof which was created by Nissan in the 1980's. The economic future of Smyrna appears bright given its strategic geographic location. The availability of ample utilities and supporting major transportation facilities (air, road and rail) makes Smyrna an attractive location for business and industry. A growing town with plenty of jobs and great family facilities Smyrna is a great relocation spot for families in the Tennessee area.
