Simpson County, Mississippi

Simpson Location Map Mississippi

Simpson County sits in the heart of Mississippi, about 30 miles southeast of Jackson. It’s classic small-town America, with a dash of Southern charm.

Mendenhall is the county seat and is where most of the action happens. Folks here are proud of their roots and love a good catfish fry.

The Pearl River meanders along its western edge with spots for fishing and lazy summer afternoons. You’ll find plenty of pine forests and rolling hills, perfect for hunting or just getting lost in nature.
