The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Pheba was named for Mrs. Pheba Robinson. The community is located on the former Southern Railway and was incorporated in 1890.
A post office first began operation under the name Pheba in 1890.
In 2000, Pheba was the site of the first sporting event in which an all-black team participated in a contest sanctioned by the Mississippi Private School Association (MPSA), which was founded as an organization for segregation academies that originally existed to avoid integration of whites and blacks in public schools when Hebron Christian played against the all-black Christ Missionary and Industrial College High School (CM&I). CM&I had previously not played football for decades and fielded a team of only 14 players.
