East Memphis is a region of Memphis, Tennessee with several defined and informal subdivisions and neighborhoods such as Colonial Acres, White Station-Yates, Sherwood Forest, Normal Station, High Point Terrace, Belle Meade, Normandy Meadows, St. Nick, Pleasant Acres, Balmoral, and Ridgeway. The general boundaries are informal:
- On the West: Highland Street.
- On the South: I-240
- On the East: Traditionally, the eastern border was anything inside the I-240 loop, however, many extend this to the Germantown city limits and the Cordova community
- On the North: Sam Cooper Blvd.
The primary zip codes in this area are 38111, 38117, and 38157, including 38120 and 38119.[1] In 1950, the eastern boundary of Memphis was essentially the western boundary of what is today East Memphis.[2] By the mid-1960s, most of East Memphis inside the I-240 loop had been annexed by the city of Memphis.[3]
