The Tennessee State Line is the boundary that separates the state of Tennessee from its neighboring states. It runs along the borders of eight states: Kentucky to the north, Virginia to the northeast, North Carolina to the east, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi to the south, and Arkansas to the west. This line is significant for legal and administrative purposes, as it defines the jurisdiction of state laws and regulations. The state line is marked by various signs and monuments that indicate the transition from one state to another. Travelers crossing the Tennessee State Line may notice changes in road signs, speed limits, and local laws. The line also plays a role in regional culture and identity, as residents often take pride in their state affiliations.
