About Tennessee
Tennessee is in the southeastern central region of the United States, between the Mississippi River on the west and the Blue Ridge end of the Appalachian Mountains on the east. It is considered one of the border states between the North and the South. Tennessee entered the Union on June 1, 1796, as the 16th state.
Although Tennessee seceded at the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, eastern Tennessee remained loyal to the Union. This shows a deep-rooted difference between the upland and lowland areas. The farmers that settled the east, with its rough landscape covered with thick woodlands, were mostly independent. This end of Tennessee remained mostly cut off from the outside world until the early 20th century.
In contrast, the west, where cotton plantations were thriving, was linked with other regions through the Mississippi River. Central Tennessee had good transportation connections with other regions and developed a more diversified economy than that in the east.
Tennessee is divided into three sections, recognized under state law: East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee, and West Tennessee. Each section has its own distinctive regional center, or centers: Chattanooga and Knoxville in East Tennessee; Nashville, the capital and largest metropolitan area, in Middle Tennessee; and Memphis, with the largest city population, in West Tennessee.
Tennessee’s population is nearly two-fifths rural, and no single city or group of cities dominates the state. While it is not very urbanized, Tennessee is now more an industrial than an agricultural state. This shift from farming to manufacturing has taken place since the 1930s and is attributable in large part to the planned development of the Tennessee river basin under the Tennessee Valley Authority. Through the TVA programs, which attracted a great diversity of industries, including the federal government’s atomic energy research and development center at Oak Ridge, which is close to Knoxville, eastern Tennessee has become the most industrialized part of the state.
Nashville is Tennessee’s capital, and the second most populated city in the state. Nashville is the home of the Grand Ole Opry, and became known as Music City USA, thanks to the numerous Country, Jazz and Blues musicians that got their start in and near the city.
Memphis is Tennessee’s most populated city, and the home of numerous musical, literary, artistic, historical and political events and people. Some of the names on this list include Elvis Presley, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert Penn Warren. Graceland, a house only slightly less popular than the White House, is near Memphis, and receives more than 600,000 visitors from all over the world every year.
Tennessee is believed to derive its name from Tanasi, the name used by the Cherokee people for a village on the Little Tennessee River. The river was named after the village, and the region named after the river. The state has no official nickname but is frequently called the Volunteer State, a reference to the willingness and valor displayed by volunteer soldiers from the state during wars in the 18th and 19th centuries.
