Mississippi i/หmษชsแตปหsษชpi/ is a state located in the southern region of the United States.
Jackson is the state capital and largest city, with a population of around 175,000 people. The state overall has a population of around 3 million people. Mississippi is the 32nd most extensive and the 32nd most populous of the 50 United States.
The state is heavily forested outside of the Mississippi Delta area. Its riverfront areas were cleared for slave-cultivated cotton production before the American Civil War, but after the war, the bottomlands were cleared mostly by freedmen. African Americans made up two-thirds of the property owners in the Delta by the end of the 19th century, but timber and railroad companies acquired much of the land. Clearing altered the ecology of the Delta, increasing the severity of flooding along the Mississippi. Much land is now held by agribusinesses. A largely rural state with agricultural areas dominated by industrial farms, Mississippi is ranked low or last among the states in such measures as health, educational attainment, and median household income. The state's catfish aquaculture farms produce the majority of farm-raised catfish consumed in the United States.
Columbus is a city in Lowndes County, Mississippi that lies primarily east, but also north and northeast of the Tombigbee River, which is also referred to as the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway . It is approximately 146 miles (235ย km) northeast of Jackson, 92 miles (148ย km) north of Meridian, 63 miles (101ย km) south of Tupelo, 60 miles (97ย km) northwest of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and 120 miles (193ย km) west of Birmingham, Alabama. The population was 25,944 at the 2000 census. The population was 23,640 at the 2010 census. The population in 2012 was estimated to be 23,452. It is the county seat of Lowndes County and the principal city of the Columbus Micropolitan Statistical Area, which is part of the larger Columbus-West Point Combined Statistical Area. Columbus is also part of the area of northeast Mississippi called The Golden Triangle, consisting of Columbus, West Point and Starkville, in the counties of Lowndes, Clay and Oktibbeha.
The first record of the site of Columbus in Western history is found in the annals of the explorer Hernando de Soto, who is reputed to have crossed the nearby Tombigbee River on his search for El Dorado. However, the site does not enter the main continuity of American history until December 1810, when John Pitchlynn, the U.S. interpreter for the Choctaw Nation, moved to Plymouth Bluff where he built a home, established a farm and transacted Choctaw Agency business.
Columbus is a Latinized version of the Italian surname "Colombo". It most commonly refers to:

How does a small town that loses its main industry recover and move forward? Columbus, Mississippiโwith a population hovering around 23,000โhas long been a manufacturing hub. But in the early โ00s, many factories closed down and moved overseas in search of cheaper labor, leaving thousands of Columbus residents depressed and unemployed. More recently, a new wave of factories has moved into town. In just five years, the region has received almost $12 billion in investments, and Columbus is reinventing itself as the new heart of American manufacturing. Such economic turnaround is โsomething just doesnโt typically happen in places this small and this rural in the South,โ? says Joe Max-Higgins, the CEO of a local economic development organization. This documentary was produced for American Fu...

Travel video about nature park Mississippi Swamps in the USA. New Orleans is synonymous with good food, jazz and Mardi Gras and it was here that history was created: founded by France, conquered by Spain, bought by President Jefferson and occupied by theYankees! New Orleans also possesses the second largest harbour in the USA and even today they shout, โFull speed ahead!โ as paddle steamers negotiate โOl Man Riverโ, the grand waters of the Mississippi that flow to the Mississippi Swamps.The Swamps are extensive and only experienced boatmen can find their way around the mass of main and side tributaries as itโs easy to become disorientated, sight of the sky often being lost due to the density of the trees. In the past 5,000 years the Mississippi had seven different deltas prior to it being ...

Louisiana may be the birthplace of Jazz, but Mississippi Delta, is where the Blues were born! Music, comfort food and southern hospitality run deep in the Delta. My journey followed Highway 61, which is also known as the โBlues Trail.โ? One could argue that Highway 61 rivals Route 66, certainly for its musical significance. I found the Mississippi Delta to exude charm and hospitality, while its music permeated my soul and found a place in my heart.
