Because it occupies a substantial bluff rising from the Mississippi river bank, the area is a natural location for
settlement. The Memphis area was first settled by the Mississippian Culture and then by the Chickasaw Indian
tribe. European exploration came years later, with Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto and French explorers led by
René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle.[4]
The land comprising present-day Memphis remained in a largely unorganized territory throughout most of the
18th century. By 1796, the community was the westernmost point of the newly admitted state of Tennessee,
located in the Southeast America.
Tennessee seceded from the Union in June 1861 and Memphis briefly became a Confederate stronghold. Union
forces captured Memphis in the Battle of Memphis on June 6, 1862, and the city remained under Union control
for the duration of the war. Memphis became a Union supply base and continued to prosper throughout the war.
