Mississippi Counties

In Mississippi, Hinds County is the most populated county. It’s home to Jackson, the state capital, which explains a lot. Now, if you’re looking for some real peace and quiet, Issaquena County is your spot. It’s the least populous county in Mississippi. Why? Well, it’s right in the middle of the Delta, mostly farmland.

Most Populous: Hinds County
Least Populous: Issaquena County

In terms of land area (excluding water), the biggest county by area is Yazoo County. It stretches from the edge of the Delta into the central hills, covering 923 square miles. The smallest? That’d be Alcorn County up in the northeast corner at 400 square miles.

Smallest Area: Alcorn County

Mississippi’s counties have some interesting stories behind their names. For instance, Yalobusha County comes from a Choctaw phrase meaning “tadpole place.” Or how about Itawamba County? It’s named after a Chickasaw chief who was known as the “Bench Chief” (because he liked to sit on a bench). The state started setting up counties pretty early on. Adams County was established in 1799 when Mississippi was still a territory.
