History of Okolona:
Okolona was named Rose Hill in 1845 early in its settlement, but residents later discovered that another location had this name. When a US post office was established here in 1850, a new name was needed to avoid confusion in mail delivery. According to the Okolona Area Chamber of Commerce, Colonel Josiah N. Walton, postmaster of nearby Aberdeen, Mississippi remembered an encounter with a Chickasaw warrior years earlier. The man's name was Oka-laua, meaning peaceful, yellow, or blue water. Walton renamed Rose Hill as Okolona in his honor. Due to the destruction brought to the area by the Civil War, few structures from the antebellum period remain. The Elliot- Donaldson House, constructed in 1850, survives and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. A few other homes have also survived.
In the mid-nineteenth century, Okolona and the surrounding Black Prairie, sometimes called the Black Belt or Prairie Belt, became what has been called the "Bread Basket of the Confederacy". The area was part of the original Cotton Belt of Mississippi well before the more famous Delta Region gained fame for major cotton production.
The Mobile and Ohio Railroad completed its tracks through Okolona in 1859, making the town a center for the ginning of cotton and its shipment to markets. The town grew along Main Street as a result of the railroad. Most commercial buildings from this period, including the depot, were burned during the Civil War.

Did you know mascara could come out of white carpet? I didn't either. My dog got ahold of some of my mascara while we were out of town and I am still in disbelief that SERVPRO of Tupelo was able to get it out. Thank you again SERVPRO!
Thank you SERVPRO of Tupelo for taking care of the water damage in my home. Not only were you able to take care of the water damage itself, but it was so nice not to have to find contractors. You were able to literally take care of everything. I didn't have to do a thing and you don't realize how easy that makes it for your customers. Thank you again SERVPRO.
Thank you SERVPRO for always being a sponsor for Blessed are the Peacemakers. This is such an amazing event and thank you for understanding how important it is to support such an amazing cause. Thanks again!
I can't thank you enough for coming to teach the CE Class last week at our facilities. Our staff was so impressed and complimentary your staff and your presentation. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you again SERVPRO for your generosity.
I hired SERVPRO to clean out my air conditioning ducts. (20 years) Kurt and his staff came in, and all of them were very professional, friendly, and appreciative. Kurt informed me of what they would be doing, and how long it would take. They washed up all of my vents as well. They also cleaned up any mess that they had made during the process. Thank you, Kurt, and SERVPRO for a job well done! Highly recommend their service!
Kelsey and Shaun were great, well respected, well mannered, worked as a team, and showed interest in their work.
Thanks a lot, SERVPRO
Thank you for the work. The workers have been very nice and did a great job.
