In 1836, Collierville received its name from Jesse R. Collier, a
local entrepreneur, who advertised lots for sale in what he called
the Town of Collier. Even after its formal incorporation in 1850,
the town was mistakenly known as both Oak Grove and Colliersville.
Additionally documents from the late 19th century put Collierville
in both Tennessee and Mississippi. By 1858, the population was
recorded at around 250 people, doubling by 1860. Much of the town
was destroyed during the Civil War, but in 1866, the town sprang
back around a park designated as a public square. Once a stagecoach
rest stop and later a railroad stop, the town anchors the southeast
corner of Shelby County, lying about 30 miles east of Memphis and
the Mississippi River. Today Colliervilles population has grown to
more than 42,000 people. With its downtown a jewel of Victorian-era
homes and churches surrounding the Historic Town Square,
Collierville, Tennessee, retains a small-town charm that keeps
longtime residents rooted and draws increasing numbers of new
citizens yearly.
