About the State of Tennessee

Known as “The great volunteer state,” Tennessee is ranked 17th in the United States with a population of just over six million people. The state is typically divided up into three separate sections: East, Middle and West. East Tennessee is characterized by the Blue Ridge Mountains which are subdivided into the Great Smoky Mountains, the Bald Mountains, the Unicoi Mountains, the Unaka Mountains and Roan Highlands, and the Iron Mountains. This area of Tennessee is also characterized by fertile valleys, the western most one being known as the Great Valley in which the cities of Knoxville and Chattanooga are housed. Middle Tennessee is characterized by flat-topped mountains which are separated by sharp valleys. It is in this area where the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway is located, not to mention some of the last remaining large American Chestnut trees. West Tennessee is known for the Gulf Coastal Plain, which includes the Mississippi embankment. The easternmost section of this area consists of hilly land that runs along the western bank of the Tennessee River.
