About

Yazoo, created in 1823 and named after indigenous Native-Americans, was Mississippi's 19th county. Near the southern tip of the fertile flood plain of the Yazoo and Mississippi Rivers, known as the Delta, the county has always been an agricultural and commercial center. By the early 20th century farmers had diversified crops, growing in addition to cotton, hay, oats, sugar cane, and potatoes; livestock included cattle, hogs, and sheep. Valuable timber, such as oak, cypress, and red gum, was also harvested in the county.
