The Battle of Newton's Station was fought here on April 24, 1863 during the famous Grierson's Raid by the Union Army cavalry regiments in a brigade commanded by Col. Benjamin Grierson (1826-1911). This was an important action during the long Vicksburg campaign of a siege and battle to take the port town of Vicksburg and fortress on the Mississippi River by Federal Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and split the southern Confederacy during the American Civil War (1861-1865).
On February 13, 1948, a tornado, with an estimated intensity of F3 on the Fujita scale, impacted the town, killing five people and destroying 30 homes.
