Smyrna: Nissan's First American Plant in Rutherford County
Smyrna sits in Rutherford County about 20 miles southeast of Nashville along I-24, with roughly 53,000 residents. Nissan chose the town in 1980 for its first US vehicle assembly plant, which opened in 1983 and remains one of the highest-volume auto plants in North America. The Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant currently builds the Rogue, Pathfinder, Murano, Maxima, and Leaf, along with the batteries for the Leaf on an adjoining site.
Sewart Air Force Base operated in Smyrna from 1941 until 1970, when the federal government transferred the property to the town. The former base land became Smyrna-Rutherford County Airport, light industrial parks, and residential areas. The annual Great Tennessee Airshow at the airport draws large crowds each June.
Percy Priest Lake borders Smyrna to the north, and the Stones River runs east of town. The Lane Motor Museum, several miles to the north in Nashville, holds the country's largest collection of European and Asian cars. Sam Davis Home in Smyrna preserves the property of a 21-year-old Confederate scout hanged at Pulaski in 1863 after refusing to betray his informant.
