What is now the downtown area of Olive Branch was purchased by Milton Blocker and Stephen Flinn more than a century and a half ago, on April 13, 1836, from Chickasaw Indian Chief Lush-Pum-Tubby. The 1,280 acres were purchased for $1.20 per acre.
The town was originally known as Cowpens, named for the cow pens that lined the primary road.
The town was later renamed to Watson's Crossroads in honor of Sam Watson, a Methodist minister at Methodist Church of Olive Branch. This church, originally founded in 1840, is now known as Maples Memorial Methodist Church.
In 1846, the town gets its first Post Office and changes its name to Olive Branch.
29 years later, on May 1, 1875, the area composed of 150 people was formally incorporated as Olive Branch.
The first mayor of Olive Branch was Ben Wesson. In 1875, he constructs a new home, what is now known as Wesson House.
