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