Hinds County, Administrative division in central Mississippi, United States
Hinds County spans 877 square miles across central Mississippi, containing two county seats: the capital city Jackson and the town of Raymond.
The county, established in 1821 on former Choctaw territory, takes its name from General Thomas Hinds, who distinguished himself at the Battle of New Orleans.
The county maintains strong educational foundations with multiple school districts, Jackson State University, and Millsaps College contributing to academic development.
The county administration provides online databases for accessing public records, tax information, utility services, and election results through its official website.
The University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson marked medical history in 1963 when surgeon James Hardy performed the first human lung transplant.
