OUR HISTORY
Chronicled in the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek
(1830), the United States government gave a section
of land to Peggy Trehan, a Choctaw Indian, and an
adjoining section to John Donley, a white mail rider.
All that separated the two sections was a survey line
known as present day Line Street...
The original owners then sold their sections to Franklin E. Plummer
and Hiram G. Runnels. The two sections became known as Pittsburg and
Tullahoma. Because of a bitter rivalry between the towns’ residents, representatives
met in 1836 in an effort to solve the problems. This meeting
resulted in a plan to merge the two towns into one.
On July 4, 1836, a mock wedding ceremony performed by Rev. Abraham
Lucas, a Methodist minister, joined a bride representing Tullahoma and
a groom representing Pittsburg to form the new town of Grenada. Some
believe the town was named after Granada, Spain, and simply misspelled.
QUICK FACTS
The city was once home to Grenada
College, a Methodist junior college for
women. Because of financial troubles, the
church closed the college and transferred
all assets to Millsaps College.
James Meredith’s 1966 “March
Against Fear” arrived in Grenada
on June 15. Civil Rights
activists protesting racial segregation
included Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., Joan Baez,
Andrew Young, Ralph Abernathy,
and others. The group’s
demonstrations continued in
Grenada for one week.
