Battlefield is an unincorporated community located in Newton County, Mississippi United States. Its zip code is 39325.[1]
Battlefield, first located in adjacent Lauderdale County, Mississippi, was allegedly established on and named for a Choctaw battlefield.[2] Its first post office opened in 1849 before it was moved Newton County, Mississippi in March 1860.[3] The community served as the northern terminus of the Tallahatta Railroad and at one point had a number of businesses and churches, along with a school.[4] The post office stayed open until 1915.[5] The community has a cemetery, though all of its tombstones disappeared overnight in the 1970s.[6]
The community was more recently home to a dragstrip called the Battlefield Raceway that has since been shut down.[7]
