History of the University of Tennessee. Founded in Knoxville in 1794 as Blount College, the institution that would become the University of Tennessee began as a struggling college with a small student body and faculty.
Tennessee is the 16th State Admitted to the Union. Eight counties of western North Carolina (and now part of Tennessee) broke off from that state in the late 1780s and formed the abortive State of Franklin. Efforts to obtain admission to the Union failed, and the counties had re-joined North Carolina by 1790.
