Jefferson Davis County, Administrative county in Mississippi, United States
Jefferson Davis County is an administrative region in Mississippi with Prentiss as its county seat. The area is intersected by several major highways and consists of forests, farmland, and rural communities.
The county was established in 1906 by combining parts of Covington and Lawrence counties. This administrative reorganization created a new governing region for the growing area.
The courthouse in Prentiss serves as the heart of local governance and community affairs. This building reflects how residents connect with their county institutions.
U.S. Route 84 and several state highways connect the different parts of the county and are the main ways to navigate through it. Using these roads makes it easy to move between towns and areas.
In 1933, after the federal prohibition on alcohol ended, this county chose to reinstate its own alcohol ban. It was one of the first to make this decision independently.
