Iuka, the seat of Tishomingo County, is built on the site of a Chickasaw village and named for one of its chiefs, Iuka, son of Chief Tishomingo. The town was founded by David Hubbard, a wagon train scout, and grew when the Memphis and Charleston Railroad arrived in 1857. Before the Civil War it had a women's college, a boys' military academy and a fine hotel.
On September 19, 1862, the Battle of Iuka left 1,200 to 1,500 men killed or wounded. The Confederate dead were buried in a long trench that became Shady Grove Cemetery. After the war Iuka Normal Institute, the first normal school built in the former Confederacy after the war, opened here, but the town did not regain prosperity for many years. In 1904 water from Iuka's mineral springs won first prize as the purest and best mineral water at the World's Fair in St. Louis. The Tennessee Valley Authority's Pickwick Landing Dam and Pickwick Lake later brought new activity. Woodall Mountain, the highest point in Mississippi, is nearby.
