Germantown is best known as a suburb of Memphis, Tennessee. Public schools

Houston High School. The city also is home to some of the highest real estate
prices in the area. Bordering Memphis to the east, Germantown is a quiet town of
streets lined with mature hardwood trees, and often stately homes. There is
practically no industry in Germantown, but the city is home to significant
retail. In the city center is the Old Town Germantown neighborhood, anchored by
a depot (a 1948 reproduction of the 1868 original) and railroad tracks that
recall the community's earliest days of development as an outpost along the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad.
Annual events in Germantown include the Germantown Festival, and the Germantown
Charity Horse Show which lures equestrians from all over the country.
