County History

Lamar County was created in 1904 from the Marion and Pearl River Counties. It received its name in honor of US Supreme Court Justice L.Q.C. Lamar. As of 2000, Lamar County's population was 39,070. While it is part of the Hattiesburg, Mississippi Metropolitan Statistical Area, Lamar is largely a rural county. Purvis is its county seat. Hattiesburg is home to The University of Southern Mississippi, originally known as Mississippi Normal College. Just south of Hattiesburg is Camp Shelby, the largest National Guard training base east of the Mississippi River. Other towns include Lumberton, Sumrall and West Hattiesburg. Lamar County is bordered by Covington County (north), Forrest County (east), Pearl River County (south), Marion County (west) and Jefferson Davis County (northwest).
