Shelbyville: Home of the Tennessee Walking Horse
Shelbyville serves as the seat of Bedford County in Middle Tennessee, about 55 miles south of Nashville along US 231, with roughly 21,000 residents. The city calls itself the "Walking Horse Capital of the World" in reference to the Tennessee Walking Horse breed, which originated in Middle Tennessee. The annual Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, held at the Calsonic Arena for 11 days each August and September, serves as the sport's championship event and draws tens of thousands of attendees.
Shelbyville was laid out in 1810 and named for Revolutionary War veteran Isaac Shelby. The public square around the 1935 Bedford County Courthouse retains early and mid-twentieth-century commercial buildings. Pencil manufacturing dominated local industry through much of the twentieth century, with Shelbyville once producing more pencils than any other place in the world.
Motlow State Community College operates a branch campus in the city, and Tyson Foods processing operations provide significant industrial employment. The Tennessee Walking Horse breeder registry maintains offices in the city.
