The CITY WHARF, Broadway and 1st Ave., was a transportation center during the 1800's when most of the city's freight was carried by boat. In the early 1900's, with a network of railroads across the State, water transportation practically ceased, but with the thirties barge and tugboat lines renewed activity on the waterfront. - Tennessee: A Guide to the State, Nashville section , pg. 192.
The wharf see limited use for barge traffic if any. The area is now Metro Riverfront park.
