Coahoma County, Administrative division in Mississippi, United States
Coahoma County is an administrative division in Mississippi combining agricultural land with urban development, centered around Clarksdale as the main hub. The county encompasses several interconnected communities across the Delta region.
The county was established in 1836 and experienced several relocations of its administrative center due to Mississippi River flooding. Clarksdale became the permanent seat in 1930.
The county holds deep roots in Delta blues music, with generations of musicians creating and performing within its communities. This musical heritage remains woven into local gatherings and celebrations today.
Visitors can access county services and information through the administrative office in Clarksdale, which serves as the main hub for public facilities. The city offers a good base for exploring the region's history and communities.
The name comes from the Choctaw language, meaning red panther, reflecting the Native American influence in the region. This linguistic heritage connects the area to its earliest inhabitants.
