Collierville Information
Collierville is a city in Shelby County, Tennessee and a suburb of the
Memphis metropolitan area. As of the 2000 census, the town population was
31,872. More recent estimates hint that the city's population is nearing 40,000
people due to extensive housing starts in the area over the past few years.
Like its western neighbor, Germantown, Collierville is a suburb of Memphis. Also
like Germantown, Collierville is a mainly upscale town of large houses and some
retail. But, unlike its neighbor, much still remains of the "old" town in
Collierville, when it was less of a suburb than it was a self-contained
community. Those smaller houses, and some industry, still dot the landscape in
Collierville.
Among the many amenities in this swiftly growing community is the Historic
Square, in Collierville's downtown area. This quaint shopping destination boasts
trendy shops, fun eateries, and a tree-lined park, all overlooking the old train
depot, from which the City grew.
Collierville is also home to the new Avenue Carriage Crossing, an 800,000+ sq.
ft. shopping center which opened in November 2005. Baptist Hospital,
Collierville, also serves the medical needs of Collierville's residents, often
relieving the need to drive to Memphis for care.
Collierville is also the location for the FedEx World Technology Headquarters,
located on the western edge of Collierville on the intersection of Bailey
Station and Winchester.
Collierville will soon become part of the I-69 Highway plan integrating Bill
Morris Parkway as part of this USDOT project linking Canada and Mexico within
United States.
