Before Tennessee became a state, it was primarily controlled by the Spanish and then the British. Following the American Revolution, it became part of the Southwest Territory, which was established by the United States in 1790. The area was largely settled by American pioneers, and it ultimately gained statehood as the 16th state on June 1, 1796.
