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.
