About Polkville

Located in northwestern Smith County, Polkville is a quiet, rural town of around 600 residents. The community was established in the 1840s and named after President James K. Polk, and it has held onto its peaceful, small-town character ever since. It is a great fit for anyone looking for open land, friendly neighbors, and an easygoing pace of life.

Daily convenience is a plus here thanks to Mississippi Highway 13, which runs straight through town and reaches Interstate 20 in about six miles. That gives residents an easy drive toward Brandon, Morton, or the greater Jackson area while still getting to come home to the countryside. Families are zoned for the Smith County School District, with the local library branch and town hall serving as familiar neighborhood anchors.
