    Tips

    June 5, 2025

    Tupelo has a history going back centuries. From the Chickasaw and Choctaw and their ancestors, to Civil War Battles in the 1860s, a famous bank heist by Prohibition Era Outlaw Machine Gun Kelly, and most famously, the birthplace of Elvis Presley.

    History is everywhere you look around here, even in the name! Tupelo comes from the Creek language and combines the words ito 'tree' and opilwa 'swamp'.

    With a population of nearly 40,000 Tupelo is a full service town and those passing through on the Natchez Trace Parkway will be able to find anything they need to continue on their journey. Just as travelers have done here for countless generations.
