Visit the Cumberland Furnace Historic District. Cumberland Furnace is situated in Dickson County, Tennessee, and was named after an iron furnace was established in the area in 1793. Cumberland Furnace was the first iron ore villages in middle Tennessee and had the proud distinction of manufacturing cannonballs for the War of 1812.
Some forges continued to use trip or steam hammers for turning bloomed or rolled iron into various shapes for mechanical purposes, i.e. crankshafts and axles. In 1847, there were 21 blast furnaces, 11 forges, and 3 rolling mills operating on or near the Cumberland River in the greater Nashville vicinity. Similarly, along the Tennessee River from Hardin County to Stewart County, 12 furnaces and 8 forges were in production. The price of pig iron fluctuated very little at that time and usually averaged around $26 per ton. By 1856 pig iron output in the Western Highland Rim region had peaked at just over 50,000 tons.
