The name Tennessee is derived from the name of a Cherokee village,
Tanasi. In 1796, Tennessee was the first territory admitted as a
state under the federal Constitution (16th state). Before statehood,
it was known as the Territory South of the River Ohio. Tennessee is
one of the states that link the North and the South. The lonely
pioneer, wearing a coonskin cap and carrying a flintlock rifle, is a
symbol of Tennessee's great past. Pioneers crossed the mountains of
Tennessee to settle in the wilderness. They brought with them the
spirit of independence and daring that has become a part of
Tennessee's history.
