Ellendale is an unincorporated community in Shelby County, Tennessee, United States, in the Memphis metropolitan area.

History

The first railroad to Shelby County was the Memphis & Ohio Railroad, stretching from Memphis to Paris, Tennessee in 1856. In 1872, the Louisville & Nashville, or L&N Railroad, bought the Memphis & Ohio Railroad and sponsored a contest to rename the community near Bond's Station depot. "Ellendale" was chosen as a play-on-words of the abbreviation L&N. According to a source, it appears that Ellendale was eventually annexed by Bartlett in 1977.
