Itawamba County, Administrative county in northeastern Mississippi, United States.
Itawamba County is an administrative area in northeastern Mississippi that encompasses several small communities, including Fulton, Mantachie, and Tremont. The Tombigbee River and Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway flow through the landscape, creating water routes across the region.
The area was established in 1836 and named after a Chickasaw leader, with that heritage embedded in the county's current name. This founding marked a significant turning point in the settlement history of northeastern Mississippi.
The county takes its name from Chickasaw leader Itawambe Miko, also known as Levi Colbert. The region has produced several notable figures, including country music singer Tammy Wynette and sculptor Burgess Delaney.
Visitors can access various administrative services including the Tax Collector's Office, Tax Assessor's Office, and courthouse facilities that serve residents and visitors. The area is convenient to reach, located between two major urban centers.
The area sits on a strategic route between two major cities and is crossed by the Natchez Trace Parkway, a historic route that draws hikers and history enthusiasts. This scenic byway offers overlooks and trails that often go unnoticed by passing travelers.
