Annexation
This section needs additional citations for verification. (June 2021) |
After a seven-year court challenge to the right of Memphis to annex, small portions of Eads were annexed into the Memphis City Council Second District in the 1990s. Most of Eads is now designated as being in the Memphis reserve, meaning that Memphis can annex it at some point.
Deannexation
On January 1, 2020, a portion of Eads on the south side of US 64 and just north of the Grays Creek community, between west of Cobb Road and the unincorporated Shelby County boundary line was deannexed from the City of Memphis to return under county jurisdiction.
Education
Most of Eads is serviced by the Shelby County School System. The private Briarcrest Christian School also has a campus in Eads.
Geography
The center of Eads is located at 35°12'09" North, 89°39'02" West.
