I believe it is Vicksburg, which was not 100 years but 83 years, July 4th 1863 to July 4th 1945.
During the US Civil War, at the same time Lee was fighting and loosing at Gettysburg, Grant had surrounded Vicksburg in the famous siege of Vicksburg. Vicksburg fell on July 4th to Grant and Lee was defeated at Gettysburg also on July 4th.
Vicksburg residents never forgot the siege and refused to celebrate July 4th until the end of World War II.
