The flag of Blount County, Tennessee, is a blue background with a modified version of the county's seal in the center, with four white emblems surrounding it at each corner: the upper left is a church, representing religion; the upper right is a cap and scroll, representing education; the lower left is a farm scene, including a farmer on tractor plowing a field with a house and barn in the background, which represents the county's agricultural history; and the lower right symbol is a stylized factory, representing the industrial history (and future) of Blount County. The center seal is inscribed with "BLOUNT COUNTY" at the top, following the curve of the seal, and "TENNESSEE" at the bottom, again following the curve of the seal. At the top of the seal, beneath "BLOUNT COUNTY", is the year "1795", the year of the county's creation.[1]
