About Pearl

Pearl is a Rankin County city just east of Jackson, across the Pearl River from Mississippi's capital. Its early land history includes an 1825 grant to Harry Long in what is now Rankin County, but modern Pearl is mostly defined by suburban growth, industry, and regional access. West Rankin Industrial Park, the Rankin campus of Hinds Community College, and proximity to Jackson give the city a practical role. Pearl feels commercial, commuter-oriented, and closely tied to central Mississippi's metro economy.
