The three stars on the TN flag represent the three different land forms in Tennessee. Mountains in the east, highlands in the middle and lowlands in the west. On the flag these regions are bound together in an unbroken circle. The field is crimson with a blue background for the stars. The final blue strip relieves the sameness of the crimson field and prevents the flag from showing too much crimson when it is limp.

	Obion County, in the NW corner of Tennessee in the western grand division of the state, was created in 1823 from Indian lands and is named for the Obion River, chief watercourse of the area; the origin of the name is obscure: possibly an Indian word meaning "many prongs" or the name of a French-Irish explorer. The present county seat is Union City. The first county seat was Troy.
