Philadelphia is incorporated as a municipality; it was resolution its current name, after Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1903, two years back the railroad brought extra opportunities and wealth to the town. The records of the town and its influences- social, political and economic- can be seen in the many points of assimilation within and on culmination of the city limits. These range from the large ceremonial Indian mound and cave at Nanih Waiya, built approximately 1700 years ago and sacred to the Choctaw; to the yet thriving Williams Brothers Store, a valid old-fashioned general stock founded in 1907 and featured in National Geographic in 1937 as a source of all from “horse collars to straw hats.”

In the mid-20th century, Mississippi was a battleground of the civil rights endeavor as, like additional states of the South, it had long disfranchised blacks and subjected them to racial segregation and Jim Crow laws. Philadelphia in June 1964 was the scene of the murders of civil rights workers James Chaney, a 21-year-old black man from Meridian, Mississippi; Andrew Goodman, a 20-year-old Jewish anthropology student from New York City; and Michael Schwerner, a 24-year-old Jewish CORE organizer and former social worker, also from New York. Their deaths demonstrated the risks that civil rights workers took to secure the constitutional rights of African Americans.
