De Soto is said to have cross the Mississippi close to the site of Memphis. The area was strategically important throughout the time of the British, French, and Spanish rivalries in the 18th cent. A U.S. fort was erect in 1797. The city was recognized (1819) by Andrew Jackson, Marcus Winchester, and John Overton. In the Civil War it fell, on June 6, 1862, to a Union force led by the elder Charles Henry Davis. Severe yellow-fever epidemics occurred in the 1870s, and thousands died. So many people fled the city that its charter had to be surrender (1879); it was not restored until 1891. E. H. “Boss” Crump ruled Memphis from 1909 until his supporting hold was broken after 1948.
