About Mathiston

Straddling the line between Webster and Choctaw counties, Mathiston is a quiet Mississippi town with deep roots near the historic Natchez Trace. The community grew around a new railroad stop in 1889, founded when local landowner Bill Mathis donated property for a depot, school, and churches. That easygoing, welcoming spirit carries through today, making the town an appealing spot for anyone looking for peaceful rural living.

Daily life centers around familiar local businesses, active churches, and a relaxed Southern pace. Families on the Webster County side send their kids to East Webster Elementary and High School, where school sports bring the community together on game nights. With Highway 82 and Highway 15 crossing right through town, you get the quiet comfort of country life alongside a quick drive into Starkville for shopping, dining, and Mississippi State events.
