Hudsonville, Marshall County: From a Stage Road Town to a Forgotten Mississippi Settlement

Appalachian Community Histories – Hudsonville, Marshall County: From a Stage Road Town to a Forgotten Mississippi Settlement. In the northern reaches of Marshall County, Mississippi, a small community once stood along the stage road connecting La Grange, Tennessee, with Holly Springs. During the 1830s, travelers passing through Hudsonville would have encountered a growing settlement of stores, houses, and families establishing themselves in a region undergoing extraordinary change. Within only a few years, the settlement had become an incorporated town, an election precinct, and a gathering place for local militia companies. Yet despite its promising beginning, the original Hudsonville would eventually disappear as the railroad drew commerce and residents toward a different location.

Fifteen years before the nation was shocked by the murder of Emmett Till in Mississippi, a white supremacist murdered Elbert Williams, an NAACP leader in Tennessee. A new book brings light onto the little-known case and argues that it set the stage for decades of racial violence that followed across the South as Black citizens sought the right to vote.
