Senatobia

Senatobia is the county seat of Tate County in northern Mississippi, located near Interstate 55. The downtown area is surrounded by residential neighborhoods and serves as the economic and administrative center of the region.

The town was established in 1834 when James Peters acquired land from the Chickasaw Nation, founding the settlement. The area subsequently developed into a key trading and administrative center for the surrounding county.

The name Senatobia comes from the Chickasaw language, meaning "capital of the hunters." The town has developed as a local hub where residents and visitors can observe daily activities centered around the downtown core.

The downtown area is easy to navigate on foot and well organized for daily traffic. Proximity to Interstate 55 provides convenient access from outside the area and makes parking throughout town straightforward.

The Baddour Center here provides specialized residential care for adults with intellectual disabilities and is known throughout the region. This facility plays an important role in community life and shapes local social services.
