Marion County, Mississippi

Marion Location Map Mississippi

Marion County is down in south Mississippi. The Pearl River runs right through it, giving folks plenty of spots to fish or float on a lazy summer day.

Columbia is the main town. It’s kind of the hub of everything. The county’s named after Francis Marion, the “Swamp Fox” of Revolutionary War fame.

You might not expect it, but Marion County played a part in the space race. NASA tested rocket engines here back in the day. These days, it’s more about small-town living and enjoying the outdoors.
