Loyd is a small, unincorporated community located in Calhoun County, Mississippi, in the United States. An unincorporated community is a place that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town. Instead, it's usually managed by the county.
Loyd: A Small Community
Loyd is found in the state of Mississippi. It's a quiet area where people live without a formal town council or mayor. The community is part of Calhoun County, which helps manage local services.
Loyd's Past
Even though Loyd is a small community today, it once had its own post office. The post office was open for many years, from 1884 until 1909. This means that for about 25 years, people in Loyd could send and receive mail right in their own community. After 1909, residents likely used post offices in nearby towns.
