Tennessee Flag Meaning: The three stars stand for the three distinct geographical areas of Tennessee, the lowlands of the west, the highlands of the middle and the mountains of the east. They also represent Tennessee as the third state, after the original 13, to join the Union.
The first official state flag of Tennessee was adopted in 1897. The current state flag of Tennessee was designed by Colonel LeRoy Reeves, a Johnson City attorney who was serving in the Tennessee National Guard in 1905 when he created the new flag design.
