Corinth is a small place in Perry County, Mississippi, in the United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town would. Instead, it's managed by the larger county government.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it's not officially a city or town. It doesn't have its own mayor or city council. Instead, the county government takes care of things like roads, police, and fire services.
This is different from a city, which has its own rules and leaders. Unincorporated communities often have fewer people. They might be more spread out.
Where is Corinth Located?
Corinth is found in the northwestern part of Perry County. Perry County is one of the many counties in the state of Mississippi.
It is located about 9 miles (which is about 14.5 kilometers) east of a larger city called Hattiesburg. This makes it easy for people in Corinth to visit Hattiesburg for shopping or other activities.
