Memphis is the largest city in the state of Tennessee, as well as the county seat of Shelby County. Situated on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, the area was first inhabited by the Mississippian Culture and later by the Chickasaw Indian Tribe. European exploration of the area began in the mid-1500s. The Spanish, French and English claimed the land over the years before the Chickasaws sold it to the United States. In 1819, future president Andrew Jackson and two other entrepreneurs founded Memphis, which rapidly grew as a transportation and cotton-trading center. The city of Memphis was incorporated in 1826; following a severe outbreak of yellow fever in 1878, the city became a taxing district of the state until it regained its charter in 1893.
During the 20th century, Memphis flourished as a trade center for cotton and hardwood lumber. Like many cities, Memphis was hit hard by the Great Depression, but wartime production of cotton and defense-related industries during World War II helped revive the city. Memphis continued to grow as a manufacturing and distribution center due to its infrastructure of railroads and interstates, as well as its central location on the Mississippi River. Today, the International Port of Memphis is one of the nation’s busiest inland ports, while Memphis International Airport ranks as one of the world’s busiest cargo facilities.
This history of manufacturing, transportation and maritime industries put many who were employed in Memphis at risk of developing mesothelioma cancer and other asbestos-related illnesses from asbestos exposure.
