HERE ARE A FEW FACTS ABOUT GERMANTOWN, TN​According to Homepage – Germantown Historical Preservation Association 

 

1. Germantown was founded along the Cherokee Trace on a ridge between the Wolf River and Nonconnah Creek, about 16 miles east of the Mississippi River. 

 

2. William Twyford from England and Frances Wright of Scotland, adjacent landowners, were two of the first settlers in the area known as Pea Ridge. Frances Wright, arrived in 1825, purchasing land from the holdings of Senator Andrew Jackson. Between 1825 and 1830, she established Neshoba Plantation, a utopian community intended to educate slaves to be self-supporting, preparing them for emancipation.​

​

3. In the 1830s, churches were established, stores were opened, a school was built. The town had a post office and a justice of the peace. More settlers moved into the area and town lots in the community were laid out in 1834 by Col. G. P. Shepherd. The name was changed to Germantown in 1836 to reflect the presence of German families.

 

4. The town was officially chartered in 1841, and by 1849 the Germantown post office became the second largest center of postal business in Shelby County . By 1850 the population had 250 citizens. Passenger and freight service came to the town in 1852 via the Memphis & Charleston Railroad, providing accessibility to area goods and services within the region.

 

5. Germantown experienced setbacks through the period of the Civl War and the yellow fever epidemics that followed between 1867 and 1878, reducing its population by half. The town rebounded slowly in the post-war era, rebuilding the school and several churches. The population began to return around the turn of the century.

 

6. The town’s name momentarily changed to Neshoba, an Indian word meaning “wolf”, due to anti-German sentiments during World War 1 (May 15, 1917 and April 4, 1922). Forty-six (46) men from Germantown served their country in that war. By 1959, the “town” of Germantown, would become the “City” of Germantown.

 

7. During the 20th century, the community derived its strength through involvement of citizens as evidenced in the churches, garden clubs and other civic organizations. The Poplar Pike Improvement Association and the Germantown Civic Club played vital roles in the physical and social development of the community.

 

8. In the last half of the century, the population grew from around 500 to just over 40,000 citizens. Over several decades, elected and civic leadership, with the suppport of citizen volunteers, worked proactively to control growth and appearance through strategic planning, development regulations, and aesthetic controls. The result is a premier residential community with high-quality city services that make Germantown an attractive, healthy, safe and wholesome place to live, work, worship and play.​
