Sunflower County, Mississippi

Sunflower Location Map Mississippi

Sunflower County is right in the middle of the state’s western edge. Indianola, the county seat, is famous as where B.B. King grew up as a young man. Blues runs deep here.

Folks here are proud of their agricultural roots. The land is flat with lots of cotton fields. But the question is: do they grow sunflowers here?

Sunflower County has stories to tell. It’s where Fannie Lou Hamer fought for civil rights. You can taste it in the food… catfish, greens, and cornbread like nowhere else.
