The retail economy of the Sango area is booming around the city's third Wal-Mart SuperCenter and an
adjacent shopping center — River Point.
Restaurants and other businesses are chasing a growing population of residents who like the upscale area's
proximity to Nashville and Interstate 24.
The Sango area derived its name from ginseng, a medicinal plant found in forests. Colloquial slang for
ginseng was "sane" but locals called it "sang" and the O later came into the name.
