Perry County

Perry County is an administrative division in Mississippi containing forests, waterways, and farmland spread across a wide rural area. The county encompasses several towns and communities positioned between Hattiesburg and Mobile.

This administrative division was established in 1820 and named after Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, a naval hero from the War of 1812. The naming honored his significant contributions to American military history.

The courthouse in New Augusta serves as a gathering place where community members come together for local government business and official events. People use this building as a center for conducting the county's public affairs throughout the year.

County services operate from the administration building during standard weekday hours, with convenient parking available nearby. Most facilities are easily accessible by car throughout the area.

The Perry County Commission maintains a Geographic Information System that maps every property and piece of infrastructure across the entire district. This digital mapping helps the administration plan and manage the territory with precision.
