The growth of the railroads in antebellum Mobile helped the area's economy. This growth was reflected in the rich plantations located in the interior of the state.

The railroads continued to make Greenwood a thriving city through the 1940s. There were several cotton factors and related businesses based downtown. During the Civil Rights Movement, Greenwood became a focal point for protests and voter registration struggles.
