In the East South Central region of the United States, lying
between the Mississippi River on the west and the backbone
of the Blue Ridge province of the Appalachian Mountains on
the east. It is considered one of the border states between
the North and the South.
Tennessee’s population is nearly two-fifths rural, and
no single city or group of cities dominates the state. While
it is not highly urbanized, Tennessee is now more an industrial
than an agricultural state. The climate of Tennessee is characterized
by hot summers, mild winters, and abundant rainfall. According
to the 2000 national census, Tennessee ranked 16th among the
states, with a total population of 5,689,283. Among the fastest
growing areas are the suburbs of Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville.
Tennessee’s mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, and parks
provide sports enthusiasts with ideal conditions for such
outdoor activities as fishing, swimming, boating, hunting,
horseback riding, hiking, and golf. Great Smoky Mountains
National Park and Cherokee National Forest, both in the eastern
part of the state, are particularly popular recreational areas.
Automobile races are held in Nashville and at the Bristol
International Speedway and Drag Strip, in Bristol. Gatlinburg,
at the entrance to the Smoky Mountains Park, is a center for
skiing and other winter sports. Tennessee's professional football
team is the Tennessee Titans (formerly the Houston Oilers).
The team moved to Tennessee in 1997 and began play in Nashville's
East Bank Stadium in 1999.
