Red Bay, in northwestern Franklin County on the Mississippi line, lies in country first inhabited by the Chickasaw, in what was then the Mississippi Territory. The community was originally known as Vinson's Crossroads and stood farther southwest along Gum Creek. When a branch of the Illinois Central Railroad was built through the area in 1907, settlers came, and the town, named for its rich red clay and its many bay trees, was incorporated on July 17, 1907.
The first bank and new businesses opened the next year to serve the farming and lumber community, and Red Bay became an important lumber and shipping center. Residents first worshiped under a brush arbor, which became the site of the first school; by 1903 a school with a single teacher stood where the First United Methodist Church is now, and students attended between harvest and spring planting. The trees that arch over Main Street, the town's "tunnel of trees," were planted by the Red Bay Garden Club in the 1930s.
