TENNESSEE STATE FLAG HISTORY & DESIGN
The area of Tennessee was originally part of the state of North Carolina, but it didn’t take long for it to be divided up. Tennessee became the 16th state admitted to the Union in 1796, but the current flag design wasn’t finalized until 1905.
The current Tri-star flag was designed by Colonel LeRoy Reeves, a Johnson City attorney who was then serving in the Tennessee National Guard. Col. Reeves’ design highlights the three distinct regions, or “Grand Divisions”, of Tennessee: East, Middle, and West Tennessee. The blue field the stars are in is meant to signify the unity of each of those divisions.
The tri-star design has been popularized in Tennessee culture, used as a key part of logos for Tennessee-based businesses and sports teams, like the Tennessee Titans.
As with any state flag, the correct way to hang a Tennessee state flag with an American flag is to fly the American flag above, and make sure the American flag is larger than the state flag.
