Humphreys County, Mississippi
Humphreys County is pure Delta. You’ll find it in the northwest part of Mississippi, where the land is flat and the cotton grows tall. This place has seen its share of floods and droughts.
Belzoni is the county seat and calls itself the Catfish Capital of the World… They’re not kidding around. The Yazoo River snakes through the county, giving life to the rich farmland all around.
Folks here know how to work hard and play harder. Blues music runs deep in these parts, with local legends still playing in juke joints on Saturday nights. You can’t beat the sunsets over the fields in Humphreys County.
