Alcorn County, County seat in northeastern Mississippi, US
Alcorn County extends across 401 square miles of land at the intersection of major transportation routes in northeastern Mississippi near the Tennessee border.
The county formed in 1870 during the post-Civil War reconstruction era, with Corinth designated as its administrative center due to its railroad junction location.
The Corinth National Cemetery within Alcorn County contains the graves of over 5,500 soldiers who served in conflicts from the Civil War onward.
The county government provides residents with online access to permits, licenses, and administrative services through its official website and courthouse in Corinth.
The intersection of the Memphis & Charleston and Mobile & Ohio railroads in Corinth made Alcorn County a strategic target during the Civil War.
