The name came from the great stretch of rapids in the Tennessee River that contained rocky shoals and an abundance of mussels. (Muscle is an archaic spelling of mussel.) In 1921, automobile manufacturer Henry Ford became interested in buying the idle nitrate plant and the unfinished dam. He offered the government $5 million for the properties and promised to ""build a city 75 miles long and employ one million people."" His offer was eventually rejected by the Congress. Ford's involvement led to a tremendous real estate boom. A.L. Howell and C.T. Graves and other developers bought nearby cotton fields and laid out subdivisions, complete with streets, sidewalks, fireplugs and street lights.","34° 44.63′ N, 87° 38.56′ W.
