Sango

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.
