Tallahatchie County, Administrative division in Mississippi, United States.
The Tallahatchie River crosses through this 652-square-mile county, which includes two county seats: Charleston on the east side and Sumner on the west.
Founded in 1833 after the Choctaw removal, Tallahatchie County became a significant location during the civil rights movement due to the 1955 Emmett Till trial.
The county contains a mix of residents who maintain traditions through local festivals, music events, and food celebrations that showcase regional Mississippi Delta customs.
The Board of Supervisors, consisting of five members, manages county operations from their offices at 150 Court Square in Charleston, Mississippi.
This Mississippi Delta county maintains two separate courthouses and administrative centers, making it one of the few counties with dual governmental operations.
