Formerly part of Tennessee and Mississippi due to a surveyor’s error that was corrected in 1838.
In 1836, Collierville received its name because Jesse R. Collier, entrepreneur laid out a tract of land into lots, bought space in the Memphis Enquirer, and advertised "The Town of Collier for Sale."
By 1933, Collierville’s importance as a dairy center led to the establishment of a cheese plant by Swift & Co. Soon, Collierville became the cheese-making capital of West Tennessee.
