The Tennessee State Capitol's east, west, and south sides vanished from view during the downtown Nashville urban development boom in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Due to the numerous places between the Capitol and the Cumberland River that were swampy, the northern side of the Capitol was not suitable for the development of skyscrapers. Because of its natural features, the historic French Lick preserved the last remaining vista of the Capitol and became the location of the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. The French Lick brought wildlife, Native Americans, trappers, and settlers to what would become Nashville.
