Downtown La Grange

This Antebellum center of Southern wealth, culture, and education was originally a Chickasaw village named "Itey Uch La," meaning "Cluster of Pines." Markers along Hwy 57/Main Street detail the town's origin and history, from Native American trading post to Union stronghold during the Civil War. Today, it has only about 200 inhabitants who care for the beautiful historic buildings along Hwy 57.
