Memphis is the second largest city in Tennessee in both area and population, following the capital of Nashville. The city has an estimated population of 652,000 people and covers 324 square miles.

Memphis is 212 miles from Nashville and 137 miles from Little Rock.

The city of Memphis was founded in 1819 and incorporated in 1826. Because of its strategic location on the Mississippi river, the city quickly became a trade and transport hub in the area and was the second largest city in the South by 1870.
