Montgomery County, Mississippi, USA

Montgomery County lies in Mississippi, where the Delta, pine belt, coastal plain and northeastern hills meet in distinct regions, encompassing a mix of towns, rural communities and open land. Waterways and roads cross forests, farmland, river bottoms and small urban centers, linking the county’s communities and working landscapes. Successive eras of Native homelands, cotton agriculture, railroads and later highway development helped define the county’s settlement pattern and regional role. The contemporary county draws its identity from health care, education, manufacturing, agriculture, local commerce and regional travel, as well as local heritage and the surrounding landscape.
