Agricola is a small place in George County, Mississippi, in the United States. It's called a "census-designated place" because the government counts its population, but it's not an official city or town. It's also an "unincorporated community," meaning it doesn't have its own local government like a city does. In 2020, about 346 people lived there.
Agricola is home to the Agricola Elementary School (AES). Long ago, Agricola was a stop on the Pascagoula Northern Railroad, which was a train line. A post office served the community from 1909 until 1964, helping people send and receive mail.
