Clover Hill is a small, quiet place in Coahoma County, Mississippi, in the United States. It's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's not a city or town with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county area.

Where is Clover Hill?

Clover Hill is located in the northern part of Coahoma County. It's about 4 miles (6.4 km) north of a place called Lyon. It's also about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of another community named Rudyard. This makes Clover Hill easy to find between these two spots.

A Look Back in Time

Clover Hill has an interesting past. It was once part of a large farm called a plantation, owned by someone named J. T. Fargason. Long ago, it was a busy spot because of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad. There was a train station, or "depot," here where trains would stop. This helped people and goods travel.

The Old Post Office

For many years, Clover Hill even had its own post office. It opened in 1884. People could send and receive letters and packages right there. The post office served the community for a long time, until it closed in 1935.
