About Itta Bena
Taking its name from a Choctaw phrase meaning "camp in the woods," Itta Bena is a quiet Delta community settled along the curves of Roebuck Lake. Located a short drive west of Greenwood, the town developed around farming, waterways, and the railroad in the mid-1800s. Today, it retains a peaceful, slow-paced atmosphere shaped by deep Southern roots and agricultural history.
The heart of town features a historic district with classic brick storefronts, neighborhood churches, and local gathering spots like Itta Bena City Park. Mississippi Valley State University sits right northwest of town, bringing college athletics, arts, and educational energy to the area. Residents make the quick drive into neighboring Greenwood for larger shopping centers, hospitals, and dining, enjoying a calm and affordable home base in the Mississippi Delta.
