Given its military pre-eminence, Sparta was recognized as the overall leader of the combined Greek forces during the Greco-Persian Wars. Between 431 and 404 BC, Sparta was the principal enemy of Athens during the Peloponnesian War, from which it emerged victorious, though at great cost of lives lost. Sparta's defeat by Thebes in the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC ended Sparta's prominent role in Greece. However, it maintained its political independence until the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BC. It then underwent a long period of decline, especially in the Middle Ages, when many Spartans moved to live in Mystras. Modern Sparta is the capital of the Greek regional unit of Laconia and a center for the processing of goods such as citrus and olives.
Sparta Township is a township in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 19,722, reflecting an increase of 1,642 (+9.1%) from the 18,080 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 2,923 (+19.3%) from the 15,157 counted in the 1990 Census.
Pre-colonial Sparta was inhabited by the LenapeNative Americans. In the 1750s, Dutch explorers discovered red ores in the area and attempted to mine copper. No permanent settlers arrived until 1778, when Robert Ogden and his wife built their home and constructed an iron forge on lands he had acquired and "called their house and farm Sparta." The first public building in Sparta was the Presbyterian Church which was incorporated in 1786. Schools were established in Ogdensburg by 1806 and in Sparta by 1812.
Sparta was established in 1809 as a county seat for White County, which had been created in 1806. The city was named after the ancient Greek city-state Sparta.
Sparta nearly became the capital of the state of Tennessee, as, early in the history of Tennessee, the state legislature voted to choose a location for the permanent state capital. The final vote resulted in a near tie between Sparta and Nashville. Sparta lost to Nashville by one vote.
Sparta grew quickly due to its location along the stage road between Knoxville and Nashville. In the 1830s, brothers Barlow and Madison Fisk built the Sparta Rock House, which served as an inn along the stage road. The Rock House, strategically situated in an area where the Cumberland Plateau gives way to the Calfkiller valley, was a common stopover for figures important to the early history of the state, including Andrew Jackson and Sam Houston. The building is now a state historic site and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

How ancient Spartans REALLY trained
Very little is known about the training of the ancient Spartans. Luckily for us, I literally wrote the book researching their methods.
Here are two exercises and one supplement that they used, ALL of which YOU can use today to feed the inner Spartan.
And be sure to check out my book if you want to see the most detailed breakdown of Spartan physical training in the world.
1. Weighted running. The Spartans DOMINATED an ancient Olympic event called the ‘Hoplitodromos’, a 400-800 meter sprint wearing full armor. They could also ruck for days without stopping.
2. Calisthenics. Simple bodyweight exercises like pushups and pull ups built strength, endurance and mobility, along with carrying logs and stones.
4. Greek mountain tea, known today as ‘iron wort’, was a staple of Spartan nutrition. ...

The History of Sparta Explained in 10 Minutes
Sparta is widely known for being a staple city in Greek history. It’s one of those cities that ended up being of a major importance, and it’s renowned even today. This city is found in Laconia, and during the ancient times, it has a martial tradition and reached the height of its power on 404 BC. At that time, they had a victory against Athens, in what was known as the second Peloponnesian war. An interesting thing to note about Sparta is that it didn’t have any city walls during its prime. They were always defending it with men and not mortar, which was their philosophy at that time.
