The first European Americans to settle in the area of Memphis were members of the Wells family from Albany, New York; Anthony Wells resided here from 1834 and James Wells from 1835. The fledgling community was originally called Wells Settlement after them. The name "Memphis" was chosen and applied in 1848 when a US Post Office was established.


The village was named for its location on a bluff overlooking the Belle River, which settlers likened to the position of the ancient Egyptian Memphis, "the City on the Nile". Memphis was incorporated as a village on 4 April 1865. It did not attain the status of a city until 1953.The area was originally developed for agriculture, as most settlers were farmers.


As lumbering became a major industry in Michigan, log rafts were floated down the Belle River into the St. Clair River, and south to Detroit. Some lumber was processed in Memphis and Marine City, Michigan, where there was a major shipbuilding industry. Much was shipped to developing midwestern cities such as Chicago and further east.
