Normal Station is a East Memphis, Tennessee neighborhood, anchored by the University of Memphis, formerly Memphis State University, and originally called West Tennessee State Normal School.
Earlier in the twentieth century, there was a train station for the Southern Railroad near what is now the intersection of Highland Street and Southern Avenue. By 1956, the train station in present-day Normal Station did not exist.
As was common in the outlying areas around Memphis, neighborhoods and small towns got their names from land owners, landmarks and railway stations. The custom is also seen today in areas such as Buntyn Station, White Station, and Bray Station, among many others.
