The border between Tennessee and Kentucky was established through a combination of colonial land grants and negotiations. Initially, the area was part of Virginia, and the border was defined by the Cumberland River and the Tennessee River. After Tennessee became a state in 1796, the border was officially set at the latitude line of 36°30′ north. This boundary was later confirmed by an 1818 survey, solidifying the border as it exists today.
