Established in January 29, 1828, Madison County is bordered by the Big Black River to the northwest and the Pearl River to the southeast. Madison County encompasses 713 square miles and is located just north of Jackson, Mississippi’s capitol city. The county is composed of four unique and thriving incorporated cities: Canton, Flora, Madison, and Ridgeland.

Madison County has continued to experience incredible growth due to its close proximity to the capital city and being selected as the site for Nissan in Mississippi. Population alone has increased 28% in the last ten years. But the best part of Madison County is not its growth; community values and pride are what bring Madison County to the top of the heap.
