About Magee

Magee is a welcoming small town in Simpson County, sitting right along Highway 49 about halfway between Jackson and Hattiesburg. Home to roughly 4,000 people, the community offers a relaxed, slower-paced lifestyle surrounded by south-central Mississippi's pine hills. While it dates back to the early 1800s, today's Magee serves as a practical, friendly hub with local shops, neighborhood dining, and easy access for travelers on the go.
