Covington County, Mississippi
Deep in the heart of southern Mississippi lies Covington County. You’ll find it sandwiched between Jones County to the east and Jefferson Davis County to the west.
Folks here take pride in their roots. Agriculture still plays a big role in the local economy, with poultry farms all around. There’s a slower pace of life here that newcomers quickly learn to appreciate.
On Friday nights, high school football reigns supreme. The county seat is Collins. Robertson Park brings in people with its pristine lake and hiking trails.
