Cordova, TN news and local guide

Cordova was one of many small stops on the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway's line to Memphis, and its first station, built in 1889, still stands at Macon Road and B Street. During World War II the railroad served an ammunition plant near the town. The Louisville and Nashville took over the line in 1957, the track east toward Jackson was abandoned in 1968, and the last spur closed in 2002; in 2016 the Shelby Farms Greenline trail was extended to the old station. The Cordova Community Center, a school built in 1913, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Cordova grew rapidly as a suburb, reaching more than 55,000 people by 2000. After years of court challenges, Memphis annexed most of the area in stages, beginning with Countrywood in 2002, though some sections were later returned to unincorporated status in 2021. The Wolfchase Galleria mall opened in the late 1990s. Sources Wikipedia: Cordova, Tennessee
