More about Guntown
A post office named Campbellton opened at the site on February 12, 1846. By November 1860 the Mobile and Ohio Railroad had built through the settlement, and Union cavalry officers in the Civil War described it as "a station and small village on the Mobile & Ohio road." The Battle of Brice's Cross Roads was fought nearby on June 10, 1864.
Guntown was founded on April 13, 1866, and incorporated as the Town of Guntown on February 16, 1867. A station had been built there by 1874.
