Lodi, Montgomery County: The Town That Helped Shape Winona

Appalachian Community Histories – Lodi, Montgomery County: The Town That Helped Shape Winona. In the eastern countryside of Montgomery County, Mississippi, the community of Lodi survives as a reminder of a time when the region’s towns were still taking shape, and the arrival of railroads could determine which settlements prospered and which gradually faded. Today, Lodi is an unincorporated community, but during the nineteenth century, it possessed the institutions of a recognized town, including a municipal government, a post office, and residents whose lives became connected to some of the most consequential events in Mississippi history. Its story includes the Civil War, Reconstruction, the development of neighboring Winona, and the agricultural economy that supported generations of families throughout the surrounding countryside.
