Rich in history, Tullahoma has long been known as a city that is as unique as its name. Tullahoma is the only city in the world bearing this name. An Indian word, "Tullahoma" is believed by many to mean "a land of golden flowers," but probably is derived from the Choctaw words for "red" and "rock." Indians first used the area around Tullahoma as a hunting ground and it became a desirable tribal location because of the presence of abundant springs flowing with pure water. Nestled in the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee and surrounded by lakes, wood, rivers and streams and a State Natural Area, a mild climate and the beauty of four distinct seasons make Tullahoma a hunting, fishing, boating and golfing paradise.

Settled as a railroad labor camp during construction of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway, Tullahoma celebrated its 150th anniversary on October 4, 2002, with the theme "Tullahoma - a great place to return to." Since its charter in 1852, it has been a popular health resort, a steadily growing industrial center, and the World War II site of a large infantry training center (Camp Forrest). The opening of Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) at Arnold Air Force Base in 1951 served as the catalyst for numerous private business ventures and nurtured Tullahoma's high-tech environment. AEDC houses the world's largest aeronautical research center.

Its central location just 11 miles from I-24 and at the crossroads of Highway 55 and 41A, has fostered Tullahoma's growth into a thriving regional, commercial, shopping and medical hub that boasts a healthy business environment and is home to over 68 service and manufacturing industries.

Tullahoma boasts the world's only Space Institute, the area's only Fine Arts Center, a performing arts center housing a regional history museum, a unique Staggerwing/Beechcraft Aviation Museum, and a children's Hands-on-Science Center.
