Iuka Iuka is a city in Tishomingo County, Mississippi, United States. The population was 3,059 at the 2000 census. It is the
county seat of Tishomingo County.
Woodall Mountain, the highest point in Mississippi, is located just
south of Iuka. Iuka is built on the site
of a Chickasaw Indian village that is thought to have been subordinate
to the settlement at Underwood Village. The name "Iuka" comes from the name of
one of the chieftains of the village. The Civil War brought
widespread devastation when a major engagement here occurred on September 19,
1862. The Battle of Iuka resulted in 1200 to 1500 killed or wounded. The dead
Confederate soldiers were buried in a long trench that eventually
became Shady Grove Cemetery. The first normal school built in the former Confederacy after the Civil War,
Iuka Normal
Institute, was built here. However, the town
did not return to prosperity for many years. The building of Pickwick Landing
Dam and Pickwick Lake by the Tennessee Valley
Authority brought activity back to the
town. In 1904, water from Iuka's
mineral springs won first prize for the purest and best mineral water at the
