1957
Vernon and Gladys Presley start looking for a bigger and more secluded home. In no time they find a mansion on the outskirts of Memphis, on Highway 51 South just before it enters Mississippi. The house is set well back from the road on almost fourteen acres of land. It is called Graceland, after the great-aunt of the woman who built it.

That is interesting! I always wondered where the name originated. I thought, "Why would Elvis name it GRACEland? For God's amazing grace?" That was the best I could come up with.
