History

Munford was initially incorporated in 1873. At some point in the 1880s, it either disincorporated or lost its charter. In 2000, Munford was classified as a census-designated place (CDP), and in 2002 formally incorporated again. Munford is also known for its importance in the American Civil War, where the Battle of Munford took place on April 23, 1865. The battle is considered to be the last battle of the war east of the Mississippi River. One of the last Confederate casualties of the war occurred here, as well.
