About Cordova, TN – Historical Roots & Modern Growth
Cordova, Tennessee began as a small rural farming village in the mid-1800s. Originally known as Allentown, then Marysville, the town eventually became Cordova as a stop along the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. Its early reputation was tied to agriculture, cotton, and rail commerce — in fact, for many years Cordova used the slogan “Farms, Flowers, and Fellowship.”
Throughout the 20th century, Cordova remained a quiet, agricultural community until suburban expansion from Memphis accelerated rapid growth in the 1990s and 2000s. The area transformed into a dense residential and commercial hub with:
- Wolfchase retail corridor
- Expanding subdivisions
- Large shopping centers & restaurants
- Parks and preserved natural areas
- Easy access to I-40 and major Memphis routes
Today, Cordova is one of the most active residential regions in Shelby County. Its mix of established neighborhoods, new construction, wooded sections, and commercial areas creates a broad range of pest pressures — from termite hotspots to heavy mosquito activity near drainage basins and Wolf River floodplains.
All-State Pest & Lawn has served Cordova and the Mid-South since 1943, helping homeowners protect their property through every stage of the city’s growth.

Pest Conditions Unique to Cordova
Termite Activity in High-Growth Residential Areas
Cordova’s rapid development created extensive soil disturbance — conditions termites thrive in. Homes near wooded lots or built during expansion booms face elevated subterranean termite pressure.
Mosquitoes Near Wolf River Wetlands & Drainage Retention Areas
Cordova has numerous ponds, ditches, and slow-moving water systems, making it one of Memphis’ heaviest mosquito zones during warm months.
Rapid Weed Spread in Irrigated Lawns
Neighborhoods with thick irrigation coverage often battle fast-spreading weeds like nutsedge, crabgrass, and Poa annua if pre-emergent programs aren’t maintained year-round.
