Pearl River County

Pearl River County is made up of 828 square miles, and includes the towns of Picayune and Poplarville. Much of the county is agricultural; however, it boasts industry as well as Pearl River Community College, Mississippi’s first, and arguably one of its best junior colleges. Residents of Pearl River County live less than one hour’s drive to the larger cities of Hattiesburg and Gulfport, MS as well as New Orleans, yet the peaceful hometown nature of the communities here is undeniable.
