It is also located in Shelby County and as of the 2010 U.S. Census, had more than 54,600 residents. It is steeped in history, having served initially as a stagecoach route for travelers heading westward from Nashville, called Union Depot and Green Bottom. It became Bartlett in 1866 and\u00a0from there quickly evolved into the growing population center it is today.<\/p>\n<p>Making Money Magazine\u2019s Top 100 list in 2007, it has become the ninth largest city in the State of Tennessee.\u00a0There is plenty to see and do in Bartlett, TN, which offers a slower pace than the larger City of Memphis. Visitors and others to the area should make time to travel the 13 miles east to see what the area has in store.<\/p>\n<h2>What Bartlett, TN has to offer<\/h2>\n<p>Bartlett began as an agricultural area, containing many of the region\u2019s\u00a0major\u00a0plantations.\u00a0After the Civil War and incorporation as a city (along with the change in name), it remained a small farming community until the late 1960s.\u00a0The city grew from a population of\u00a0just over 500 in 1960 to double that in 1970, with rapid growth occurring from 1990 on.<\/p>\n<p>The City of Bartlett provides a quiet respite\u00a0for those who enjoy living and working in Memphis and Shelby County. It is close enough to the action but tucked away just far enough to offer a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.\u00a0Its growth was spurred by a desire to get away from the rapid urbanization taking place in Memphis while maintaining enough of a connection to the Bluff City.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.writeraccess.com\/upload\/6448-120m76c.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Things to Do in Bartlett, TN<\/h2>\n<p>There is plenty to see and do in Bartlett, TN.
