County History

Sunflower County, located in the Mississippi Delta region, was formed in 1844 from Bolivar County. In 1871, part of the county was split off to help form Leflore County, and its western and southern limits were extended at the expense of Bolivar and Washington counties. In 1918, the southern side of Sunflower County contributed to the newest county of Humphreys. As of 2000, Sunflower County's population was 34,369. The county seat and largest town is Indianola. Adjacent counties are Coahoma County (north), Tallahatchie County (northeast), Leflore County (east), Humphreys County (south), Washington County (southwest) and Bolivar County (northwest).
