Elvis Presley Birthplace Tupelo, Mississippi

WELCOME TO THE BIRTHPLACE.

Elvis Aaron Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8, 1935, to Vernon and Gladys Presley.

Born in a two-room house built by his father, grandfather and uncle, Elvis was one of twin brothers born to the Presleys. His brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn.

Elvis grew up in Tupelo surrounded by his extended family including his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Financially, times were hard on Vernon and Gladys, and they had to move out of the house where Elvis was born when he was only a few years old for lack of payment. Vernon and Gladys worked various jobs while in Tupelo and moved several different times during the thirteen years they resided in Mississippi.
