Pearl River County
County History
 Pearl
River County was formed in 1890 from Hancock
and Marion Counties and was named for the Pearl
River which forms its western boundary and separates it from Louisiana.
In 1904, some of its northern territory was detached and transferred to
the new county of Lamar, while in 1908 it
received an accession from Hancock County. The largest city in the
county is Picayune with over 20,000 people. It is the business and
medical center of the county, as well as a certified retirement
community. While Picayune received some damage from Hurricane Katrina,
there was no flood damage because of its inland location. Pearl River
county has become the permanent home for many who relocated from the
Mississippi Gulf Coast and New Orleans seeking a safe home site within
commuting distance to those areas. As of 2000, the county's population
was 48,621, but by 2006, the relocations had pushed it to over 57,000.
Poplarville is the county seat, and other towns include Lumberton and
Mississippi. Adjacent counties are Marion
County (northwest), Lamar County
(north), Forrest County (northeast),
Stone County (east),
Hancock County (south), St. Tammany
Parish, Louisiana (southwest) and
Washington Parish, Louisiana (west).
