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.
Adopted in 1905, the flag features three stars representing the grand divisions of the state: East, Middle and West. The stars are bound together in indissoluble unity by an unending white band. Two official salutes to the Tennessee flag have been adopted.
