Captain LeRoy Reeves, a soldier from the Third Regiment of the Tennessee Infantry designed the Flag in the late 1890s. Three white stars in a blue circle outlined in white represent the three regions of Tennessee. Two vertical stripes, a thin white stripe and a thicker blue one at the fly end break up the crimson field. Our state flags feature time-tested quality to stand up over the years.
