Mississippi is located in the Southern region of the United States and on December 10th, 1817 became the twentieth state to enter into the union. Mississippi was once a member of the Confederate States of America. The capital of Mississippi is Jackson which is also its largest city. The current governor of Mississippi is Haley Barbour, a Republican.
Although Mississippi's economy has traditionally been more agriculturally based than those of many states, the state has experienced industrial growth in recent years. The economy in the southern part of the state near the coastline was severely disrupted by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, but has begun to rebound. [1]
