Eads is an unincorporated community in Shelby County, Tennessee, United States, named after Civil War engineer James Buchanan Eads.
Some parts of Eads (and some surrounding areas) have been annexed by the city of Memphis.
Eads is located north of Collierville, west of Somerville, and east of Memphis and Bartlett.
[citation needed] 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.
[2] Most of Eads is serviced by the Shelby County School System.
