Fort Nashborough was the stockade established in early 1779 in the French Lick area of the Cumberland River valley, as a forerunner to the settlement that would become the city of Nashville, Tennessee.
The log stockade was square in shape and covered 2 acres (8,100 m²).
 It contained 20 log cabins and was protection for the settlers against wild animals and Indians.
Today, a reconstructed fortification, maintained by Nashville Parks and Recreation, stands near the site of the original structure.
