it's the central part of the state

"Central” implies the midpoint of a single shape. “Middle” means the broad region between two ends. in this case, between West and East Tennessee.
Because the state is long and narrow, Tennesseans historically divided it into three linear regions, not a center point. So “Middle Tennessee” fits better than “Central."

Do you understand Louisiana to be "long and narrow?"

Been in jail so far for over a month on a 2 million dollar bail. Not another court date scheduled for at least 5 weeks. They say it's for "threatening a school shooting" but the sheriff says it's for a meme that was considered "threatening". Then, the sheriff tries to stupidly connect some dots about how the guy was saying it was a threat to a Perry county highschool (where they're at, but different than the Perry high referenced in the meme) but can't even connect the dots. Then, the sheriff gets butt hurt because the guy wouldn't take it down and eventually arrest him. Holy shite this is bad.
The meme in question...
These same people will try to convince you that the libtards are coming after your freedoms.

I'm not sure why you're so hung up on this. Geographic place names aren't an exact science and I've already answered your question by giving you the historical reason it's referred to that way. If that isn't good for you your next step is to contact the state of Tennessee to explain your befuddlement and ask for answers. I'm pretty sure the op didn't post this to entertain your geographic place name arguments.

States / Counties rights. Don’t like it, don’t protest there

Why is long and narrow Cali divived into N, S, & C?

Are you drunk? You're being extremely tedious. You asked a question. I gave you the historical reason it's referred to that way. You're now trying to argue it by seemingly assuming there's a standardized procedure for place names. The people of Tennessee have historically decided to refer to it that way because the state is long and narrow. The people of whatever other examples you come up with chose to define their regions in different ways, hence: it's not an exact science.
If you don't like it, fine. But that is why it's referred to as Middle Tennessee, which was your question.
