The parallel 36°30′ north is part of a nearly straight east–west line of state borders (with small variations) starting on the East Coast of the United States, beginning with the border between Virginia and North Carolina. However, this boundary and the one between Kentucky and Tennessee lie a few miles north of 36°30′ in places.
The North Carolina-Virginia border at this time was along the 36° 30' parallel in present-day Tennessee, because both colonies believed their charters extended to the west. [4] In this treaty, the Cherokee surrendered their rights to most land in present-day southern West Virginia not included in the Treaty of Hard Labour in October 1768.
Once at the Tennessee River in the western part of the state, the border shifts south onto the actual 36°30′ parallel. [5] An 1818 survey erroneously placed the state's southern border 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the 35th parallel; Georgia legislators continue to dispute this placement, as it prevents Georgia from accessing the Tennessee River.

Primarily from the United States Government Printing Office Style Manual. [1] State names usually signify only parts of each listed state, unless otherwise indicated. Based on the BLM manual's 1973 publication date, and the reference to Clarke's Spheroid of 1866 in section 2-82, coordinates appear to be in the NAD27 datum.
That year, Charles II of England modified the charter of Carolina to grant the colony control over the entire Albemarle Sound, which caused the boundary to follow the 36th parallel north, 34 miles (55 km) north of the original boundary. In practice, the idea was that the boundary would follow through when the state of Tennessee was established.

The southern border of Tennessee was declared to be located on the 35th parallel north when Tennessee was established as a state by Congress on June 1, 1796, which is approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the present-day tripoint. This would have allowed a small portion of the Tennessee River to be located in Georgia.
