Mississippi was the 20th state to join the United States after it was admitted to the Union on December 10, 1817, following its territorial establishment in 1798. Its early history was shaped by territorial expansion and governance debates, including the acquisition of land from the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes and the drafting of the state’s first constitution in July 1817.
Jump Into What Matters
The state has a total of 82 counties and includes 298 incorporated municipalities, comprised of 110 cities, 169 towns, and 19 villages.
The formation and classification of cities, towns, and villages in Mississippi primarily depend on population size: Cities require a population exceeding 2,000; towns range from 300 to 1,999 residents, and villages consist of between 50 and 299 residents. Notably, as of 2025, Mississippi law does not permit the creation of new villages; existing villages may retain their status if they continue to meet the population criteria. This provides a clear municipal structure within the state.
Mississippi’s municipalities are distinctive due to their classification system and governance structures. Incorporation involves a petition process requiring signatures from two-thirds of the qualified voters within the proposed boundaries.
Cities and towns generally operate under mayor-council government systems, which include variations of strong and weak mayoral powers, reflecting diverse local governance styles across the state.
