Coahoma County, Administrative division in Mississippi, United States
Coahoma County stretches across 583 square miles of Mississippi Delta land, encompassing both agricultural fields and urban developments centered around Clarksdale.
The county, established in 1836, underwent multiple relocations of its administrative center due to Mississippi River floods before settling permanently in Clarksdale by 1930.
The county represents a central point in Delta blues development, with numerous musicians emerging from its communities and contributing to American musical heritage.
Residents can access county services, including tax payments, permit applications, and waste management assistance through the administrative office in Clarksdale.
The name Coahoma originates from the Choctaw language, translating to red panther, reflecting the Native American influence in the region's nomenclature.
