Excerpt: Tallulah, Louisiana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tallulah got its name in an unusual sort of way. When the railroad was expanding in the area, there was a widow that owned a large plantation. She became friendly with the railroad's contractor and persuaded him to change the route of the railroad so it would run through her plantation. After the railroad was built she had nothing else to do with him. Feeling rejected he named the water stop for an old girlfriend named Tallulah, instead of the plantation. Tallulah was the focus of national shame when, on July 20, 1899, five Sicilians were lynched, to much public approval, after they fought with a local doctor after he shot their goat. The sheriff testified that every white man in Madison Parish was implicated in the lynchings, but no one was ever charged. Tallulah was the first city in the United States to have an indoor shopping mall. The mall was only one hall with stores on either side much like the ones today but much smaller. This hall opened into the street on both ends. This historic land mark is still in Tallulah to this day on US HWY 80, though no longer in use. The name of the indoor shopping mall is Bloom's Arcade, built around 1925. Tallulah is thought to be the place where Delta Air Lines got its early beginnings as the home of an agricultural experiment station which first used airplanes to control cotton pests. Built in the late 1920. More: Books, , Madison-Parish-Louisiana~~Books-Llc, , , , , , , , , , General Books LLC<
