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.

Winona, Montgomery County: Railroads, Cotton Mills, Fires, and Fannie Lou Hamer

Appalachian Community Histories – Winona, Montgomery County: Railroads, Cotton Mills, Fires, and Fannie Lou Hamer. In the rolling hills of north-central Mississippi, the city of Winona grew from a railroad settlement into one of the region’s important commercial and political centers. Long before automobiles and interstate highways reshaped travel across the state, trains brought merchants, farmers, laborers, and visitors through a town whose streets, hotels, and businesses developed around the railroad tracks. Its position between the Mississippi Delta and the eastern portion of the state helped establish Winona as a trading center, while its selection as the county seat of Montgomery County in 1871 gave the growing community an importance that extended beyond transportation.
