Coopertown is a town in Robertson County, in the U.S. state of Tennessee. A self-described "bedroom community,"〔(Coopertown History ), from the town's official website〕 it had a population of 4,278 at the 2010 census.〔Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, (Certified Population of Tennessee Incorporated Municipalities and Counties ), State of Tennessee official website, 14 July 2011. Retrieved: 6 December 2013.〕 ==History== The tribal identities of the 16th and 17th century Native American occupants of present-day Tennessee are disputed.〔(Archaeology and the Native Peoples of Tennessee since 1600 ), from a University of Tennessee website〕 In later years, the part of Middle Tennessee that was to become the Coopertown community was claimed as territorial hunting grounds by both the Cherokee and the Chickasaw.〔(Recognition of the Historical Tribes of Tennessee ), from an unofficial website for the Tennessee Commission of Indian Affairs〕 That area was at the southern edge of what became known as the Transylvania Purchase, land purchased in 1775 from the Cherokee by Richard Henderson, a North Carolina land speculator seeking to establish a 14th colony.〔(Entry on the Transylvania Purchase ) from the Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture〕 Although Transylvania, the proposed 14th colony, was never recognized, the area was settled by immigrants in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. David Naive settled there in 1825, and the area became known as Naive’s Crossroads.〔 During subsequent years, the county's involvement in the production of barrels and whiskey led to the establishment of one or more cooper shops in the community, making barrels for the nearby Red River mills.〔 The presence of coopers led to the community's present name. Coopertown was officially incorporated in 1996, a decision taken by the citizens of the community in response to a proposal to locate a landfill in the community.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coopertown, Tennessee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
