| Iuka’s founding date is 1852, but her unique
history began long before then as the home of the great Chickasaw
Indian Nation. Chickasaw Chieftain, Iuka, enjoyed the healing Spring
waters; and indeed the Iuka Springs became legendary, even winning
a medal at the World’s Fair in 1904. Iuka was built chiefly
a resort area until its railroad was built in 1857. People still
flock to this great recreational area to enjoy Pickwick Lake and
two State Parks. Iuka was the setting of the major Civil War conflicts,
the Battle of Iuka and the Battle of Eastport. |
