Bristow is a small, quiet place in Monroe County, Mississippi, in the United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's governed by the county.

Bristow is found in the northeastern part of Mississippi. If you look on a map, you'll find it northeast of a place called Hatley. It's also located southeast of another community named Smithville.

History of Bristow

Bristow has a short but interesting history. For a few years, it was home to its very own post office. This post office was open from 1893 until 1903. A post office is a place where people can send and receive mail. Having a post office often meant a community was growing and important for the people living there.
