Welcome to the City of Murfreesboro!

On behalf of the City Council and dedicated employees, thank you for your interest. We hope your virtual tour of Murfreesboro is enjoyable and informative.

Named the Most Livable Town in Tennessee, Murfreesboro is the fastest growing city in the state - and it's not hard to see why. Murfreesboro provides the quality of life that attracts growth - plentiful housing, excellent schools, employment opportunities, outstanding services, recreational programs and regional medical facilities. The City is also home to Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU); among Tennessee's fastest growing universities and now home to the largest undergraduate population in the state.

After you have explored Murfreesboro online, we hope you will visit us often and experience the charm and southern hospitality that makes this fast-growing city a neighborly hometown.

I invite your comments and questions. If you were looking for information that you did not find, please let us know. This website will be updated often to better inform you. We look forward to hearing from you.

Murfreesboro's past is alive and well. The Stones River National Battlefield, Cannonsburgh Pioneer Village, Oaklands Historic House Museum, Bradley Academy Historical Museum and our historic district designation have preserved our city's past. In addition, our residents and visitors enjoy a charming historic downtown square filled with unique shops and places to dine.

Today, Murfreesboro is enjoying unprecedented growth in its housing, restaurant and retail development. Our city is keeping pace with this growth; a 1996 survey named Murfreesboro the highest performing city in Tennessee and within the top 1 percent of the most efficient cities in the country.

Murfreesboro's future is brighter than ever and the city will continue to be a great place to live, work and play. Technology is playing an important role in that future. City administration has recently implemented an interdepartmental network that will not only aid communication between city employees but between city departments and the community. The Traffic Department is better able to study traffic patterns of busy highways and intersections and monitor traffic lights with completion of its closed circuit television project. Our award-winning Cable Television Department provides the citizens of Murfreesboro a front-row seat to City Council and other commission/board meetings; produces informational shows and bulletin boards; cablecasts informative election candidate forums; as well as televising the traffic cameras in morning and evening for the convenience of motorists. The Murfreesboro City School System recently completed implementation of a technology plan making each classroom in Murfreesboro City Schools a 21st Century classroom.
