When Elvis purchased Graceland in 1957, Highway 51 south and the area known as Whitehaven were 'out in the country.'

By the 1970s, shopping centers, housing developments and apartment complexes had sprung up in the area only 12 miles south of downtown Memphis.

The city council of memphis, Tennessee  voted to officially change the Highway 51 south to Elvis presley Boulevard on June 29, 1971.

The first sign was erected in January 1972 at a ceremony outside Graceland with Memphis mayor Wyeth Chandler and Elvis's father Vernon.

The actual street address of Graceland became 3764 Elvis presley boulevard.
