Shelbyville, TN Personal Injury Lawyers

The City of Shelbyville was incorporated in 1819 in Bedford County, Tennessee. Shelbyville sits on a highland rim limestone bluff above the banks of the Duck River. Shelbyville was named after Isaac Shelby, a revolutionary war hero, who later served as the governor of Kentucky. Isaac Shelby was instrumental in agricultural progress both in Tennessee and in Kentucky.

Shelbyville’s courthouse has burned twice during times of insurrection or riot; however, it was the location of an important political event that prompted the consideration of the Susan B. Anthony amendment, the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, by the Tennessee Legislature in 1809. Shelbyville is also home to the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration which began in 1939. Shelbyville is also home today to many pencil and pen manufacturers. Shelbyville garnered the nickname “Pencil City” because of its historical importance in the manufacturing of the wood pencil.

Today, Shelbyville is still home to several pencil and pen manufacturers such as National Pen Corporation and Sanford Corporation, which produces the world’s largest selling writing instrument, Sharpie. In 1991 Shelbyville became home to the world’s longest pencil ever produced at 1,091 feet and weighing 27 pounds. The population of Shelbyville in 2009 was 20,149 with a land area of 15 square miles and is located 50 miles southeast of Nashville.
