== History ==
Established in 1853, Corinth was first named '''Cross City''' for its location at the junction of the [[Mobile and Ohio Railroad|Mobile & Ohio]] and [[Memphis and Charleston Railroad|Memphis & Charleston]] railroads, it was renamed Corinth after the famous [[Corinth|Greek crossroads city]]. Because of the town’s strategic location, it was a center of contention between [[Union army|Union]] and [[Confederate States Army|Confederate]] forces during the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] and was ultimately occupied by Union troops from 1862 to 1864.

[[File:The photographic history of the Civil War - thousands of scenes photographed 1861-65, with text by many special authorities (1911) (14762782285).jpg|thumb|left|The Tishomingo Hotel, {{circa|1862|lk=yes}}.]]

Confederate [[General]] [[P. G. T. Beauregard]] retreated to Corinth after the [[Battle of Shiloh]] (April 1862), pursued by [[Union army|Union]] [[Major General]] [[Henry Halleck|Henry W. Halleck]]. General Beauregard abandoned the town on May 29 when General Halleck approached, letting it fall into the Union's hands. Since Halleck had approached so cautiously, digging entrenchments at every stop for over a month, this action has been known as the [[Siege of Corinth]].

The Union sent Maj. Gen. [[William Rosecrans]] to Corinth as well and concentrated its forces in the city. The [[Second Battle of Corinth]] took place on October 3−4, 1862, when Confederate Maj. Gen. [[Earl Van Dorn]] attempted to retake the city. Corinth ultimately became a destination for refugees from slavery called ''[[Contraband (American Civil War)|contrabands]]'' and their camp was "widely regarded as a 'model' camp."<ref>{{Citation |last=Manning |first=Chandra |title=Contraband Camps and the African American Refugee Experience during the Civil War |date=2017-12-19 |url=https://oxfordre.com/americanhistory/view/10.1093/acrefore/9780199329175.001.0001/acrefore-9780199329175-e-203 |encyclopedia=Oxford Research Encyclopedia of American History |access-date=2023-07-29 |publisher=Oxford University Press |language=en |doi=10.1093/acrefore/9780199329175.013.203 |isbn=978-0-19-932917-5|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
