About Mississippi
The story of Magnolia State
The mighty Mississippi River forms the western border, giving way to the Delta's flat farmland, piney woods in the south, and Gulf beaches at Biloxi.
The Delta birthed the blues, Tupelo produced Elvis Presley, and Oxford produced William Faulkner — Mississippi's cultural output punches far above its size.
Blues music, Southern literature, deep hospitality, and slow-cooked traditions that have fed the American South for generations.
Food. Fried catfish, tamales (the Delta specialty), pecan pie, gulf shrimp, Mississippi mud pie, and BBQ across every county.
Sports. SEC football rules — the Egg Bowl between Ole Miss and Mississippi State is the state's biggest annual event.
Outdoors. Explore the Natchez Trace, kayak the Pearl River, fish the Gulf, or tour Delta blues juke joints in Clarksdale.
Economy. Agriculture (cotton, soybeans, poultry), Nissan and Toyota plants, casinos on the coast and river, and shipbuilding.
Landmarks. Visitors flock to Elvis's Birthplace, Vicksburg Battlefield, Beau Rivage, Natchez Trace.
Fun fact. The teddy bear was named after President Teddy Roosevelt refused to shoot a captured bear during a 1902 Mississippi hunting trip.
