Iuka

City and seat of Tishomingo County, in the far northeast of Mississippi; population (1990) 3,100. The city lies 35 km/22 mi southeast of Corinth, 6 km/4 mi west of the Alabama border and Pickwick Lake (the Tennessee River), and 21 km/13 mi south of the Tennessee border.

Located in a forested region, Iuka contains sawmills that process pine lumber, and also manufactures building materials. Tourism is another source of revenue; the J P Coleman and Tishomingo state parks and Woodall Mountain are in the vicinity. Iuka was the scene of an early Civil War battle (19–20 September 1862), in which Union soldiers commanded by William S Rosecrans repelled attacking Confederate forces led by Sterling Price. There are a number of fine antebellum homes in the town.
