The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗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.
During the American Civil War, the Battle of Munford took place on April 23, 1865. It was the last battle of the war east of the Mississippi River. One of the last Confederate casualties of the war occurred here, with the death of Andrew Jackson Buttram.
