Grambling's early development centered on a small sawmill owned by millright Judson Hartwell Grambling, a European American for whom the town and university are named. Around 1884, he bought land in the area that would become Grambling and established his sawmill. This was the first commercial entity to provide jobs for the early settlers who were moving to the area.
