Shelbyville, once known as Nashville, was the first county seat of government of the District of Tenaha, or Shelby County. The first courthouse stood on this site. The settlement began before 1825. It became headquarters for the Regulator-Moderator War; troops were raised here to fight the Indians; for the Texas army; and Confederate forces were organized here.
