List of municipalities in Mississippi facts for kids
Mississippi is a state located in the Southern United States. It's known for its rich history and unique culture. In 2020, Mississippi was the 32nd most populated state, with almost 3 million people living there. It's also the 31st largest state by land area, covering about 46,923 square miles (121,531 square kilometers).
Mississippi is divided into 82 counties. Within these counties, there are 300 different municipalities. A municipality is a city, town, or village that has its own local government. These municipalities cover about 2037 square miles (5,276 square kilometers) of the state's land. They are home to about half of Mississippi's population.
Municipalities in Mississippi are grouped by their population size when they are first formed. If a place has more than 2,000 people, it's called a city. If it has between 301 and 2,000 people, it's called a town. And if it has between 100 and 300 people, it's called a village. People can ask for a new city, town, or village to be created if two-thirds of the voters in that area agree. The main job of these local governments is to provide important services for the people living there. This includes things like keeping roads and bridges in good shape, providing police and fire protection, and making sure health and trash services are available.
As of 2020, the biggest municipality in Mississippi by population is Jackson, with 153,701 residents. Jackson is also the largest by land area, covering about 111 square miles (287 square kilometers). The smallest municipality is Satartia, with only 41 residents. The oldest municipality in Mississippi is Natchez, which became official on March 10, 1803. The newest is Gluckstadt, which was formed in June 2021.
