McGinnis Park is dedicated to the memory of Wiley Washington McGinnis, who lived from 1875 to 1959 and first landscaped Collierville Square. The park and streets of the 443 acre Schilling Farms development are named for people who contributed to the rich heritage of Collierville, including Hoyahka, the Indian who received the land that is now Schilling Farms as part of the Chickasaw Land Treaty; James Colbert, a Chickasaw Indian chief; Josiah Deloach, who lived from 1807 to 1880 and was a major landholder; the Reverend William McFerrin, who lived from 1809 to 1886 and was a Methodist minister; and Clarene Pinkston Russell, a Collierville historian.
