About Soso

Soso is a quiet, tight-knit town in Jones County with around 400 residents, located just a short drive northwest of Laurel. Local lore says it earned its quirky name when an early settler was asked how he was doing and simply replied that he was "so-so." Living here offers plenty of rural peace and open space, while Highways 28 and 29 make it easy to commute to nearby Laurel or Ellisville for work, groceries, and dining. It is a relaxed country community with deep Pine Belt roots and an easygoing pace of life.
