On the western shore of the Mississippi River, West Memphis is a residential community in Arkansas. The river, which also serves as the state border, separates West Memphis from the much larger city of Memphis in Tennessee. Although homes for rent in West Memphis are convenient for commuting just across the bridge into Memphis, it isn't a community stuck in the larger city's shadow. West Memphis, near Proctor and Marion, is much more suburban than its sister city. West Memphis is composed mainly of residential neighborhoods as well as Meadowbrook Country Club and parks like Matthews Park and Worthington Park.
Important Information for Future Renters
- West Memphis is made up of three former towns: Hopefield, Bragg and Hulbert. The Spanish were in control of the area in the 1790s when the European nation gave Benjamin Fooy a land grant. From this grant, Hopefield was created. After Fooy's death, Hopefield gained notoriety for gambling and fighting. Today, West Memphis is a well-respected community and no longer has its Wild West personality.
- West Memphis first became industrially successful when the railroad connected Memphis to Little Rock through the city. Interstate 40 came through across the Mississippi River on the Hernando de Soto Bridge years later, bringing more people to West Memphis.
