For most of the 20th century up to that point, Decatur held the top position in terms of economic impact and population. Its mixture of river transport and rail access has made it a busy hub of business, commerce, and manufacturing (chemicals and textiles especially) flowing down the river on the barges and boats of numerous companies and docking at the [[Port of Decatur]]. Decatur also claims the nickname "The Heart of the Valley" because of its ___location near the exact center of the length of the Tennessee River.
