Alcorn County, the smallest county in area in Mississippi, was formed April 15, 1870, from Tippiah and Tishomingo counties, and named in honor of Gov. James L. Alcorn, the first chief executive of the State chosen under the constitution of 1869. As of 2000, the population was 34,558. Its county seat and largest town is Corinth. With the exception of Columbus, it is the only large manufacturing point in the northern portion of the State, a section chiefly supplied by Memphis.
