Guntown Turns 140

Guntown, in Lee County, was incorporated February 16, 1867. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal article has this to say about the town's name:

Various publications link the town's naming either to a gunsmith who ran a shop
there or to James Gunn, a Virginia native who owned land in the area
.
