Tula was the location of the Tula Normal Institute and Business College.
It was once believed that Tula was a site of petroleum deposits. Two experimental oil wells existed in 1962, but like many wells in the Lafayette County area they were abandoned before significant investments were made. There were many oil prospects in northern Mississippi which quickly ran dry, causing a large majority of investors to view the Tula wells with caution.Arts and culture
