County History

Lawrence County was created in 1814 from Marion County and was named for the naval hero James Lawrence. It is an old settled region in the south central part of the State, and its hardy and vigorous pioneers contributed largely to the early beginnings of Mississippi. In 1819, eastern Lawrence was carved off to form Covington County. In 1870, its western area was used to create Lincoln County, and 1906, more of its eastern territory was detached to form Jefferson Davis County. As of 2000, Lawrence County's population was 13,258. The little village of Monticello, situated on a high bluff on the western bank of the Pearl River, is the county seat. Other towns include New Hebron and Silver Creek. Lawrence County is bordered by Simpson County (northeast), Jefferson Davis County (east), Marion County (southeast), Walthall County (south), Lincoln County (west) and Copiah County (northwest).
