Strategically located within the heart of Shelby County, the City of Bartlett embeds a rich history.
The town was a lone stagecoach stop by the 1830s. Now Shelby County's 2nd and Tennessee's 9th largest city, Bartlett still preserves the small town spirit with a well balanced city touch. Bartlett is 10 miles E of Memphis, Tennessee.
The community from which the City of Bartlett grew was first called Union Depot. It was the last major way station in Tennessee along the stagecoach route from Nashville westward and came into being about 1829. When the Memphis & Ohio Railroad took the place of the stages, Bartlett continued as a depot.
The logo for Bartlett Station is the stagecoach, along with the train. The CSX Railroad System still operates through the center of Bartlett, and it is easy to get the feeling of older and more simpler times.
This was a farming community, with major plantations along Stage Road.
Enhancing the quality of life are eleven Shelby County Schools, five private schools, nine day care centers, and over nine church denominations. The City of Bartlett maintains Singleton Community Center, Bartlett Recreation & Fitness Center, Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center, Bartlett Senior Citizens Center, and twenty-four city parks.
