About Runnelstown
Tucked into the Pine Belt of southeast Mississippi, Runnelstown is a quiet rural community in Perry County just east of Petal and Hattiesburg. It got its start as an old timber settlement along Tallahala Creek, but today it is home to a few hundred residents who appreciate wide-open spaces, shaded pine lots, and a slower pace. Sitting right along Highway 42, it gives residents an easy, straight drive into town for work, shopping, and dining while keeping home life peaceful.
The community revolves around its local schools and a strong sense of neighborhood pride. Landmarks like the historic school gymnasium give the area character, and the Perry County History Museum preserves the region's deep roots and timber heritage. For newcomers looking for country living within reach of the Hattiesburg area, Runnelstown offers a friendly, grounded place to put down roots.
