County History

In the Mississippi Delta region, Humphreys is the youngest of the Mississippi counties, and was created from parts of Holmes, Washington, Sharkey, Yazoo and Sunflower, by act of the legislature approved March 28, 1918. It was named in honor of Benjamin G. Humphreys, a notable general in the army of the Confederacy and the first governor of Mississippi to serve after the Civil War. Belzoni is the largest town and the county seat. Other towns include Isola, Louise and Silver City. Humphreys was named Farm-Raised Catfish Capital of the World in 1976 by then Governor Cliff Finch, since it produces more farm-raised catfish than any other U.S. county. As of 2000, its population was 11,206. Humphreys County is bordered by Sunflower County (north), Leflore County (northeast), Holmes County (east), Yazoo County (south), Sharkey County (southwest) and Washington County (west).
