Welcome to Memphis, Tennessee, the “River City.” By population, Memphis is the largest city in Tennessee and the 20th largest in the United States.

Evidence of settlement in present day Memphis dates back over 10,000 years. The Mississippian Culture left religious and residential mounds throughout the Mississippi River Valley and the Tennessee River Valley. When Hernando de Soto first explored the Mississippi area in 1540, he encountered the native Chickasaw tribe. Over a century later, in the 1680s, French explorer René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle set up Fort Prudhomme, the first European settlement in present day Memphis. Throughout the 1700s, West Tennessee remained mostly unorganized as it was stilled owned by the Chickasaw tribe.

In 1818 the federal government purchased West Tennessee from the Chickasaw for $300,000, via the Jackson Purchase. A year later, investors John Overton, James Winchester, and future president Andrew Jackson set up a city in West Tennessee along the bank of the Mississippi River. They named the city “Memphis” after the ancient Egyptian Capital on the Nile River. During the first half of the 1800s, Memphis was a major slave market. The city was built on the manufacturing and distribution of cotton and other slave-produced products from southern plantations to northern textile factories. Tennessee seceded from the Union in 1861 but Memphis fell back under Union control after the Battle of Memphis in 1862. For the rest of the Civil War, Memphis avoided the fate of many southern cities and prospered as a Union supply base.

In the 1870s yellow fever hit Memphis. In 1878, 75% of Memphis’ population either died or left town. Memphis lost its city charter and was not re-chartered until 1893. In 1910 EH “Boss” Crump was elected mayor. Crump ran the political machine in Memphis for the next 30 years, effectively appointing all the mayors who succeeded him. Over this time Memphis built an extensive network of parks and public works. It also revamped its sanitation and drainage system to avoid another epidemic. Memphis soon grew into the world’s largest spot cotton, hardwood lumber, and mule market.

In 1962 St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital opened in Memphis. St. Jude is one of the world’s leading cancer research centers, specializing in treating diseases affecting children, such as: cancer, leukemia, AIDS, sickle-cell anemia, and other immune disorders. In 1968 Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated at Memphis’ Lorraine Motel, the day after his I’ve Been to the Mountaintop speech at Memphis’ Mason Temple.

In the second half of the 20th century, Memphis became known for its music scene. In 1952 Sam Philips founded the Sun Records label. Sun Records helped produce such famous musicians as: Memphis native Elvis “the King” Presley, BB “the King of Blues” King, Johnny “the Man in Black” Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Roy Orbison. Other musical greats to come out of Memphis include: Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf, Otis Redding, Booker T. & the MG’s, the Bar-Kays, Isaac Hayes, William Bell, Al Green, WC Handy, the Sylvers, Justin Timberlake, Three 6 Mafia, and may more.
