DeSoto County, Mississippi
DeSoto County is in northwest Mississippi, just south of Memphis. This is Mississippi’s fastest-growing corner. Olive Branch and Southaven lead the charge, transforming from sleepy towns to bustling cities.
But don’t let the growth fool you. There’s still plenty of wide-open spaces and farmland to go around. The Mississippi River forms the county’s western border.
For the sports crowd, Snowden Grove Park is a mecca of youth baseball. Local restaurants serve up mean barbecue and catfish that’ll make your taste buds dance.
