Lowndes County
County History
 Lowndes County was formed in 1830
and named for Congress William Jones Lowndes (1782-1822) of South
Carolina, an earnest supporter of the War of 1812. It was originally the
southern part of Monroe County. In 1872, some
of it northern and western lands were taken to form part of the county
of Clay. The early settlers were attracted from
the older states by the richness of the county, its contiguity to a fine
navigable stream, its mild climate and the fact that the "Mliitary
Road," from New Orleans to Nashville, opened by U. S. troops 1817-1820
offered ready means of access to the region. As of 2000, Lowndes
County's population was 61,586, and it is the only county in the
Columbus, MS Micropolitan Statistical Area. Its county seat and largest
town, Columbus, is the birthplace of famous playwright Tennessee
Williams. It is also the home of Columbus AFB. Lowndes County is bordered by Noxubee County (south),
Oktibbeha County (west),
Clay County (northwest), Monroe County
(north), Lamar County, Alabama (northeast)
and Pickens County, Alabama (southeast).
