Grambling

Founded in 1901, Grambling is a proud city in Lincoln Parish best known as the home of Grambling State University, one of the nation’s most historically significant HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). The university was established by Charles P. Adams and has become a beacon of academic achievement and cultural pride in North Louisiana.

At the heart of Grambling is its strong educational identity. The university’s world-famous Tiger Marching Band and championship football team, once coached by the legendary Eddie G. Robinson, are central to the city’s cultural fabric. Game days at Eddie Robinson Stadium bring the community together in vibrant displays of spirit and tradition.

Grambling is more than just a college town—it’s a close-knit community where history, legacy, and progress intersect. Annual events like Homecoming and the Bayou Classic send waves of alumni and visitors through the town, celebrating both educational and cultural heritage.

Local landmarks include the Eddie G. Robinson Museum, which honors the life and accomplishments of one of college football’s most winning coaches. The city also offers parks, schools, and faith-based institutions that nurture community connection and development.

Grambling continues to invest in its future while honoring its past. The city's growth includes infrastructure improvements, housing development, and expanded educational programs. It remains a vibrant symbol of African-American excellence, higher learning, and cultural pride—welcoming students, families, and visitors into a tradition that is both deeply rooted and forward-looking.
