Tullahoma

City in south-central Tennessee, 101 km/63 mi southeast of Nashville; population (1990) 16,800. Its economy has been based on grain, tobacco, cotton, timber, and dairy products; today baseballs are a major product.

The Air Force maintains the Arnold Engineering Development Center, an aircraft and missile testing facility to the southeast of the city. The University of Tennessee Space Institute was opened in 1964 along Woods Reservoir. Motlow State Community College (1969) is in the city.

Originally a Cherokee village, the settlement grew from a railway construction camp in 1850. It was a Confederate base between January and July 1863, after the Battle of Murfreesboro.
