Memphis is a city in the southwestern corner of the U.S. state of Tennessee and the county seat of Shelby County. The city is located on the fourth Chickasaw Bluff, south of the confluence of the Wolf and Mississippi rivers.

Memphis is the largest city in the state of Tennessee, the largest city on the Mississippi River, the third largest in the greater Southeastern United States (Tennessee is in the Upper South), and the 20th largest in the United States.

The greater Memphis metropolitan area, including adjacent counties in Mississippi and Arkansas, had a 2010 population of 1,316,100.[6] This makes Memphis the second-largest metropolitan area in Tennessee, surpassed only by metropolitan Nashville.

Memphis is the youngest of Tennessee's major cities, founded in 1819 by European Americans, and developed with the skilled work of their African-American slaves.

"The original Memphis was the thriving home known for its white walls and the rise and fall of Gods...This Memphis has no walls, but is home to the Gods of Music and Entertainment. The Pharaoh buried here is Elvis...Though more are coming."
