History of Greene County
This county is among the oldest erected in Mississippi, having been established on December
9, 1811, while David Holmes of Virginia was serving as territorial governor. The county has a
land surface of 710 square miles. It is located far down in the southeastern section of the
State on the border of Alabama. The Counties of Wayne, Franklin, Amite and George contributed
to form its area, and its original limits were thus defined: "Beginning on the line of
demarcation, where the trading road leading from the Choctaw nation to Mobile crosses the
same, thence along said trading road to where the fifth parallel township line crosses the
same, thence west with said line to the fourth range of township east of Pearl River,
numbering from whence the line of demarcation crosses the same, thence down the said range of
townships to the line of demarcation, and with the same east to the beginning." That portion
of the county lying west of the dividing line between the eighth and ninth ranges, was taken
February 3, 1820, to form the county of Perry. To read the rest of this history, please visit
