Neshoba County, Mississippi

Neshoba Location Map Mississippi

East central Mississippi is home to Neshoba County, a place with a complicated past and a lively present. Philadelphia is the county seat, famous for its giant fair every summer.

The Neshoba County Fair is like nothing else – part political stump, part family reunion, all fun. It’s so big here that they call it Mississippi’s Giant House Party.

Choctaw history runs deep here. The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians calls this place home, and they’ve got a resort and casino in the area. The county has its dark chapters too from the civil rights era that folks are still working through.
