The first European settlers arrived in Mississippi in the 16th century and during the next 100 years it was ruled by the French, Spanish and British governments. Subsequent to the American revolution the state became part of the United States and its state boundaries were finally established. Cotton, as in much of the south became a immense industry due to the fertile soils of the Delta. Today Mississippi is a modern bustling state and although it has the lowest income per capita of any of the states it also has the lowest cost of living which means your money can go a long way when holidaying.

Mississippi is an extremely low lying state with the highest point being only 246m above sea level. The fertile plains and extensive forests are broken up by a sprinkling of small cities and towns of which the state capital Jackson is the largest at 173,000 people. The climate of Mississippi is very humid with long hot summers and short cool winters.

Travel highlights of Mississippi include the casinos in Biloxi, Vicksburg, Gulfport, Greenville, Natchez, Tunica and Philadelphia, the blues museum in Clarkesdale, the live blues music in the Delta and for those that enjoy the outdoors the Natchez Trace Parkway will get you amongst nature.
