About Memphis

Memphis is a city split between Macomb and St. Clair counties, sitting on a bluff above the Belle River. The Wells family established the settlement in 1835, and the place began as Wells Settlement before taking the Memphis name. M-19 serves as Main Street, while Memphis Community Schools keep the Yellowjackets on the local banner. Memphis is southeast Michigan in a two-county river-town arrangement, with the county line running right through the story.
