The Hill-Roulhac Cemetery is the last remaining property in La Vergne owned by the Rhoulhacs. In 1976 the cemetery was the site for the Bicentennial Celebration of Independence in the city. During that ceremony the French embassy presented the city of La Vergne with a French flag, which was raised in the memory of Francis Roulhac. Francis Roulhac is buried in this cemetery under one of the impressive stone box tombs. Roulhac is credited with naming the community of La Vergne, as he was born Francois Leonard Gregiore de Roulhac de La Vergne. After moving to the area he established a post office and teh La Vergne community followed shortly after. Francis Roulhac died on the same day that the U.S. Post Office Department officially designated the community the city of La Vergne. --Rutherford County Cemeteries Driving Tour.
