History of Brandon Mississippi
Long before the early American settlers arrived, this area was home to native Indian tribes. As early settlers found their way into what is now Brandon, many stayed to farm the rich fertile land. They also set up logging operations to profit from the abundance of trees.

Brandon, like many other southern towns, did not escape the wrath and devastation of the Civil War. The town was occupied by General Sherman and his northern troops. During their occupation, the troops pillaged and burned most of the town to the ground including private farms and homes. After the war, the town was slowly rebuilt and began to grow as people came through the area and decided to stay. In 1829, Brandon was named after its own native born resident, Governor Gerard C. Brandon.

Brandon has a long history of educating many professionals including a large number of Mississippi governors, congressmen, lawyers, judges, doctors, nurses and teachers.
