Hudsonville, Marshall County: From a Stage Road Town to a Forgotten Mississippi Settlement

Appalachian Community Histories – Hudsonville, Marshall County: From a Stage Road Town to a Forgotten Mississippi Settlement. In the northern reaches of Marshall County, Mississippi, a small community once stood along the stage road connecting La Grange, Tennessee, with Holly Springs. During the 1830s, travelers passing through Hudsonville would have encountered a growing settlement of stores, houses, and families establishing themselves in a region undergoing extraordinary change. Within only a few years, the settlement had become an incorporated town, an election precinct, and a gathering place for local militia companies. Yet despite its promising beginning, the original Hudsonville would eventually disappear as the railroad drew commerce and residents toward a different location.

Potts Camp, Marshall County: From the Pontotoc Trail to Railroads and the Iron Ore Boom

Appalachian Community Histories – Potts Camp, Marshall County: From the Pontotoc Trail to Railroads and the Iron Ore Boom. In the southeastern corner of Marshall County, Mississippi, the small town of Potts Camp carries a history that began long before the arrival of the railroad or the establishment of its first businesses. What eventually became a community of merchants, farmers, churches, and schools began as a stopping place along an old Indigenous trail, where travelers crossed the Tippah River and found food, supplies, and shelter. The settlement took its name from Colonel Erasmus Ferdinand Potts, a South Carolina businessman whose nineteenth-century trading post became a familiar landmark along the route between Holly Springs and Pontotoc.

The 8 Mississippi Farms Where You Can Fill Your Freezer With Beef For Less Than The Supermarket

A gravel road, a hand-painted sign, and a cooler in the back seat turned an ordinary Mississippi Saturday into a lesson in how families can eat better for less.

HERNANDO, Miss. – Dozens of people crowded into the old Trustmark Bank building in downtown on Wednesday afternoon to watch DeSoto County’s election officials pore over bins of ballots in a longtime Republican stronghold key to the political earthquake that has rattled Mississippi.

Cindy Hyde-Smith. DeSoto’s proximity to Memphis has established the county as a bright spot locally. It’s a center of economic development in America’s poorest state and the fastest-growing county amid statewide population decline, attracting Memphis suburbanites and Elon Musk-backed data centers alike. But the county has drawn an uncomfortable spotlight since last
