Called the
"Volunteer State," Tennessee became the 16th state of the Union in
1796. It was the first territory admitted as a state under the federal
Constitution. Before statehood, it was known as the Territory South of the
River Ohio. The name Tennessee is derived from the name of a Cherokee
village, Tanasi. Today, the capital, Nashville, is known as a center for
country music. Memphis, the largest city in the state, is the place where
Elvis Presley first began his legendary musical career. The state flower is
the iris.
