In 1900 a sawmill was set up on a site near the Vicksburg, Shreveport, and Pacific Railroad about four miles west of Ruston. The owner and operator of the mill, Mr. Judd Grambling of Ruston, doubtless selected this site because of large tracts of timbered land near by. So extensive were the tracts that the plant operated here for a number of years, the railroad finally locating a station here and calling it Grambling, after the owner. Grambling was incorporated on August 20, 1962.
