 By: Sierra Davis This is my project for Tennessee.

Tennessee is a U.S state located in the Southeastern Untied states. It has a population of 6,214,888, making it the nation's 17th-largest state by population, and covers 42,169 square miles, making it the 36th-largest by total land area.Tennessee is bordered by Kentucky and Virginia to the north, North Carolina to the east, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi to the south, and Arkansas and Missouri to the west. The Appellations Mountains  dominate the eastern part of the state, and the Mississippi River forms the state's western border. Tennessee's capital and second largest city is Nashville, which has a population of 626,144. Memphis is the state's largest city, with a population of 670,902. Nashville has the state's largest Metropolitan area, at 1,521,437 people.

 This is the Tennessee state flag. The Tennessee State Flag was designed by a fellow named LeRoy Reeves of the Third Regiment, Tennessee Infantry. It was officially adopted by the Tennessee State Legislature on April 17, 1905.

The geometric design sybolizes the geographical and cultural heritage of the state of Tennessee while echoing the colors of the national flag of The United States of America. The color white symbolizes purity. The blue sybolizes the love that Tennesseans feel for their state and the red sybolizes, that in times of war and peace, Tennesseans are true-blooded Americans

 This is the Tennessee state bird. The mockingbird was designated the official state bird of Tennessee in 1933. The mockingbird is one of the finest songbirds in North American and known for mimicking the songs of other birds as well as animals and even, at times, people. When nesting, the mockingbird will tend to be rather territorial and aggressively attacks any perceived threats.



The iris was designated as Tennessee's State flower in 1933. There are about 170 species of iris and they come in many different colors. While state legislature did not name a particular color, the purple iris is considered locally to be the state flower



One the Characteristics of Tennessee is the Tennessee River. The Tennessee River is the largest tributary of the Ohio River. It is approximately 652 miles long and is located in the southeastern United States in the Tennessee Valley. The river was once popularly known as the Cherokee River, among other names. The Tennessee River is formed at the confluence of the Holston and French Broad Rivers on the east side of Knoxville, Tennessee. From Knoxville, it flows southwest through East Tennessee toward Chattanooga before crossing into Alabama. It loops through northern Alabama and eventually forms a small part of the state's border with Mississippi, before returning to Tennessee.

History of the state ~  When was it founded~ Tennessee was founded on the year of 1796 and thats when it became a state. It was founded by The first recorded European venture into what is now called Tennessee were 3 expeditions led by Spanish explorers, Hernando de Soto in 1540, Tristan de Luna in 1559, and Juan Pardo in 1567. At that time, Tennessee was inhabited by tribes of Muscogee and Yuchi people.
