Memphis, Michigan, home to around 400 families, has a total area of 1.15 square miles that is evenly divided between Macomb and St. Clair counties. The Belle River passes through the city. Memphis is known for its slogan, “A Pleasant Place To Live”, was established in 1835 and named after Memphis, Egypt, “the City on the Nile.” It is located on a bluff overlooking the Belle River. Memphis has become noted for its landmark called “The Thing”, which has a State of Michigan historical marker noting Memphis as the home of the first automobile. The marker reads as follows: “Thomas Clegg (1863-1939) and his English-born father, John, built” The Thing,” the first recorded self-propelled vehicle in Michigan (and perhaps the country) in 1884-85. The vehicle was built in the John Clegg & Son machine shop in Memphis, MI. It ran about 500 miles before Clegg dismantled it and sold the engine to a creamery. The shop was razed in 1936, just a short time before Henry Ford offered to buy it for Greenfield Village.”
