Jackson - Chamber of Commerce: If you've never considered that Jackson County might be the pot of gold at the end of your rainbow, we'll give you the benefit of the doubt. After all, plenty of people still think Mississippi is 50th in everything, right? Well, something of the southern charm still exists, but Jackson County is really an oasis in the "New South" — a county with four cities nestled on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and part of the gulf coast, the State's most industrialized area, with educational opportunities from undergraduate to graduate degree programs and the arts and all the fun of the great outdoors. We don't want everyone to know our secret – but, it's a great place to find meaningful and professional employment and still have time to smell the roses of life. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy professional fulfillment and see your neighbors and friends at a friendly restaurant or the neighborhood grocery store. And, we enjoy watching fireworks and flying Old Glory on the Fourth of July.

Rankin - Rankin County is one of the fastest growing counties in Mississippi. Located east of Jackson (the capitol) and Hinds County, Rankin County has a population of more than 119,000. About half rural and urban, the county has seven incorporated cities: Brandon (the county seat), Florence, Flowood, Pearl, Richland, Pelahatchie and Puckett. The county has an area of 795 square miles and may be thought of as a 'bedroom' community environment to Jackson.

Rankin - Rankin County, which lies just across the Pearl River from state capital Jackson, is growing quickly. Still, it manages to maintain its rural flavor. Generations of farmers have kept agriculture in the forefront in the eastern part of the county. In the west, towns have grown but still maintain a small-town feel. Growth is mainly retail, not industrial. Schools are a big draw to Rankin; the county boasts the state's top public and private schools. Three major hospitals are state-of-the-art and a source of pride for residents; Woman's Hospital in Flowood features world-class birthing suites. When we compiled our stats, Rankin County's health-care index was higher than any rural county's in the nation. And it's fun there, too. The Barnett Reservoir on the Pearl River (above) is a popular spot for all kinds of water recreation, and Brandon boasts excellent family athletic facilities.

Yazoo - The word rolls off the tongue, bringing to mind a fabled land of lush, rolling hills rising abruptly from the fertile flatlands of the Mississippi Delta. Yazoo County - where these picturesque hills meet broad, open fields has struck visitors for almost two centuries, providing, surpassing scenic vistas and a diverse economic base. Gifted with a colorful history, abundant forests and wildlife, thriving industries and an unparalleled agricultural economy, Yazoo County offers a unique range of opportunities for residents and visitors alike. For most, the dominant impression of Yazoo County is the sudden appearance of the Delta, stretching to the horizon from the top of the last, long hill from which Yazoo City's Broadway Street descends. Yazoo County's geographic location has long been a major factor in its history. Civil War gunboats plied the waters of the Yazoo River winding past Satartia and Yazoo City. The river provided early trade as farmers from Eden, Holly Bluff and all points in between shipped their cotton to market aboard steamboats bound for New Orleans. The shady hills offered welcome relief from the summer heat and refuge from floods before levees tamed the Yazoo River. The Delta, in turn, provided fertile ground for the agricultural economy upon which Yazoo County depended.
