Tennessee became the United States sixteenth state on June 1, 1796. The capital is Nashville. The state's largest city is Memphis. Tennessee is taken from "tanasi", the Cherokee word for "villages". The Grand Ole Opry is the longest running live radio program in the country, broadcast every week since 1925. The nickname, Volunteer State, was given because of the bravery of Tennessee's volunteer soldiers in the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812. The state ranks 34th in size with a land area of 41,220 square miles.
