The Miss Memphis Pageant holds the record for longest running
pageant in our state -
60 years, beginning in 1947.
In the early years of the Miss America Organization, key cities
were allowed to send representatives
directly to Atlantic City to
compete for the title of Miss America. Memphis was one of
those
cities.
Of those four contestants, Miss Memphis produced a
Miss America.
