About Terry

Located along I-55 about 15 miles southwest of Jackson, Terry gives residents a quiet, small-town setting with an easy straight-shot commute into the capital. What began in the 1800s as a rural railroad depot has grown into a relaxed Hinds County community known for spacious lots, friendly neighbors, and local pride around Terry High School. It is an appealing spot for anyone looking for a slower pace of life while keeping the jobs, dining, and conveniences of the metro area close at hand.
