Tennessee has had two official state flags. The first was adopted 1 May 1897 but did not find widespread popularity.
The current flag was designed by Captain LeRoy Reeves of the Tennessee Infantry, which honors the three divisions of Tennessee. It’s one of few U.S. flags designed with intentional consideration for how it will look draped on a wind-free day.
It was officially adopted April 17, 1905.
