About Grenada
Born in 1836, Grenada sits at the junction of two railroads, which made it quite attractive to the Confederate army during the Civil War. The remains of earthen forts are still visible, and several battle reenactments are held annually in the surrounding area, and the Confederate Cemetery, re-discovered and restored in 1984, contains the graves of nearly 200 unknown soldiers. In the 1950s, the U.S. Corps of Engineers built Grenada Dam to aid in flood control, but the lake formed also provides a wealth of recreational opportunities. Visitors to the lake enjoy various water sports, camping, and hiking trails. Grenada Lake, covering over 35,000 acres with a 148-mile shoreline, is the largest body of water in the state.
Did you know?
Grenada was formed by a symbolic wedding ceremony between the two neighboring but rival towns of Pittsburg and Tullahoma. Many arguments and conflicts had preceded the reconciliation and "marriage," and the union brought another dispute over the name of the new town. Both Pittsburg and Tullahoma wanted to keep their "maiden name," but they finally settled on "Grenada," an Indian word for marriage.
