25 historic street names in Nashville

You may recall when we shared local street names with historical significance last spring. Today, we’re hitting the refresh button to share a few more noteworthy avenues.

Downtown

Anne Dallas Dudley Boulevard — The one-block street bordering Church Street Park and the Hermitage Hotel was renamed from Capitol Boulevard in 2017. The street is dedicated to Anne Dallas Dudley, who is recognized as a key figure in the ratification of the 19th Amendment.

Deaderick Street — This strip of downtown connecting Legislative Plaza to the Metro Courthouse is named after George M. Deaderick, a prominent local banker. Deaderick is notably linked to another thoroughfare, having donated land in the late 1780s that would later become Printers Alley.

Printers Alley — Speaking of the alley, this area was known as a thriving publishing and printing hub by the mid-19th century. Fast forward to the 1940s, when the stretch between Union and Church emerged as a nightclub district. Today, the neon glow of bar signs continues to light up the alleyway.

Roll through all 25 roads
