Cordova Information
Cordova is a community located on the east side in the City of Memphis, north
of Germantown, Tennessee, and northwest of Collierville, Tennessee, in Shelby
County .
Much of Cordova (and some of the surrounding area) was annexed by the City of
Memphis. Some of the area to its southeast is currently still unincorporated.
The two major areas of Cordova are Old Cordova Area and Wolfchase Area. The Old
Cordova Area is centered around Macon and Sanga Roads, 3 miles east of
Germantown Road. It consists of the former town of Cordova, with some of the
original structures still present. The Wolfchase Area is not actually a part of
Cordova, but named so due to association. It contains major shopping centers,
businesses and apartments.Project Pat is currently living in this neighborhood.
The boundaries of Cordova neighborhood (now called Northeast or Newly Conquered
Memphis) are inexact but are generally regarded as the Wolf River on the south,
Germantown Road on the west, Interstate 40 on the north, and Houston-Levee Road
on the east. (While some consider Shelby Farms as a part of this community, it
is 2-3 miles west of the community at large.) The ZIP codes for delivery to
physical addresses in Cordova is 38018 and 38016.
Cordova grew from a quiet country farm hamlet with a population of 150 people in
1912 to one of Memphis' fastest growing neighborhoods. Retail growth exploded in
the late 1990s thanks to the Wolfchase Galleria shopping mall, which at the time
was the largest retail center in Shelby County outside of Memphis city limits.
Today the majority of the growth is along Houston Levee Road and Macon Road as
well as major retail and commercial centers on Germantown Road (popularly called
Germantown Parkway). There are now over 1,226 businesses with over 19,400
employees working in Cordova.
