Best Places to Picnic in
Tennessee
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.
