Holmes County
County History
 In
the Mississippi Delta region, Holmes County was created February 19,
1833. It was named in honor of Gov. David Holmes, fourth Territorial
governor, first State governor, and later United States Senator for
Mississippi. Holmes was originally part of the territory forming the
large county of Hinds, ceded to the United States by the Choctaw Indians
in the 1820 Treaty of Doak’s Stand, and long known as the "New
Purchase." One of the counties created out of Hinds was
Yazoo, and from
Yazoo County was taken the region forming the present county of Holmes.
In 1918, a portion of western Holmes County was contributed to the
formation of Humphreys. Holmes County, had a population of 21,609 as of
2000. The County seat is located at Lexington, and other towns include Cruger, Durant, Goodman, Pickens, Tchula and West. Holmes County is
bordered by Carroll County (north),
Attala County (east), Yazoo County
(south), Humphreys County (west) and
Leflore County (northwest).
