Madison County lies just north of Jackson, Mississippi. It’s in the middle of Mississippi, about as central as you can get. The county’s named after James Madison, fourth U.S. president and Father of the Constitution.

You’ll find a mix of everything here. It has rolling hills, flat farmland, and suburban areas. Ridgeland has some great shopping if that’s your thing. Madison’s the spot for families looking for good schools and quiet neighborhoods.

Flora’s small but full of character. Canton’s the county seat, famous for its Christmas festival that’ll knock your socks off. If you’re into the outdoors, the Ross Barnett Reservoir’s right there for fishing, boating, or just chilling by the water.
