Memphis is the second largest city in the U.S. state of Tennessee and the county seat of Shelby County. The city is located in the extreme southwest of Tennessee on the east bank of the Mississippi River. The U.S. Census Bureau recorded a population of 633,104[2] in the 2020 census. The city is one of the metropolises of the classic southern states. After Memphis flourished until the Civil War and the 1870s, several disasters struck the city. In recent times, it owes its economic boom primarily to the transport company FedEx, which is by far the city's largest employer. The city is an important place for the development of blues and soul as well as rock 'n' roll. Elvis Presley lived in Memphis, and many greats of rock music began their careers there. Beale Street is one of the centers of the blues.
