Morgantown, MS

Morgantown is an Adams County census-designated place just northeast of Natchez, centered on Morgantown Road and a little north of U.S. Route 84. The 2020 census counted 1,334 residents. The CDP covers about 0.8 square miles of land, placing it close to Natchez's urban edge while keeping its own statistical boundary. The road links the community to the county seat, the Mississippi River city, and the wider Natchez micropolitan area.

Because Morgantown is unincorporated, its character comes from homes, churches, schools, and the roads that run through Adams County. There is no incorporated city hall or formal downtown inside the CDP; the Natchez-Adams School District serves local students, including Morgantown Elementary, and the surrounding county carries layers of Native, French, Spanish, African, and American history. Local roads connect it to farms, churches, and neighborhoods spread across the county. Morgantown sits inside that larger Adams County story: a small residential community near Natchez where Morgantown Road is the main thread tying neighborhood life to the river city.
