Prairie Mount
Prairie Mount was located six miles north of Okolona, which is on US 45A, 21 miles south of Tupelo, in the absolute northeast corner of the county. It originally was a stage coach stop, but when the railroad promised to pass through the region, it would miss the old town by a few miles, so in 1848 it moved to the railroad and renamed itself Okolona.
