History

On April 13, 1834, early settler James Peters purchased two sections of land from the Chickasaw Nation for the sum of $1.25 per acre. This land was later developed as the town of Senatobia. The community took its name from Senatobia Creek.

The Downtown Senatobia Historic District, the core of Senatobia’s central business district developed in 1856 after the opening of the Tennessee and Mississippi Railroad. Two nearby settlements, Tatumsville and Tatesville were both abandoned, with those populations moving to Senatobia in favor of easier transportation.

Senatobia received its charter as a municipality in 1860. During the Civil War, the town’s business section was burned twice by Federal troops. Tate County was organized in 1873, during the Reconstruction era, with Senatobia becoming the county seat in 1873 for the newly formed county.

Two Academy Award-nominated films have been partially filmed in the town: The Client (1994) and The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996).
