About Memphis
Located in Clark County just twenty miles north of Louisville, Memphis offers a relaxed, rural setting with quick access to the rest of the metro area. Sitting right off Interstate 65 and U.S. 31, the community is a great fit for commuters who want a quiet neighborhood, larger yards, and less everyday traffic. It has a classic small-town feel, with open farmland, local churches, and scenic back roads defining the landscape.
Memphis was founded in the 1850s as a railroad stop by settlers who named it after their hometown in Tennessee. Today, most residents head a few miles south to Sellersburg, Clarksville, or Jeffersonville for everyday shopping, dining, and schools. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate being minutes from the hiking and camping at Clark State Forest, while the easy highway commute makes it simple to balance a calm country lifestyle with city work opportunities.
