Bartlett, Tennessee is a bit of the past in the present! You may get a feeling of nostalgia when in Bartlett – the people, roads, shops and homes have a down-home, warm feeling that is welcoming every step of the way!

But Bartlett is also a bustling community that thrives on its growing economy. Bartlett is a rapidly-growing, full-service city, adjoining Memphis in the southwest corner of Tennessee.Located in the center of Shelby County, Bartlett is at the heart of a five-county metropolitan region of over 1,000,000 people.

Bartlett is a city primarily of detached single-family homes, served by extensive retail, office, and industrial centers along Stage Road/Highway 64 (an east-west arterial crossing the city). In addition, smaller, neighborhood-serving commercial centers are springing up near the newer residential areas well to the north of Stage Road, toward the Loosahatchie River.

In existence since about 1829, Bartlett was incorporated in 1866 and remained a small town for another 100 years. From the "old" town of only 508 people at Stage Road and the CSX Railroad in 1960, we grew rapidly in the 1970s and 1980s both through new residents moving here and through annexation, primarily to the east and north, to over 40,000 people today.
