County History

Sharkey County was formed in 1876 and named for Judge William L. Sharkey, provisional governor of the State in 1865. Located in the Mississippi Delta region, Sharkey was originally carved from territory belonging to the counties of Warren, Washington and Issaquuena. In 1918, it relinquished a part of its area to the new county of Humphreys. As of 2000, Sharkey County's population was 6,580. Its county seat is Rolling Fork, and other towns include Anguilla and Cary. Adjacent counties are Washington County (north), Humphreys County (northeast), Yazoo County (east), Issaquena County (south and west).
