We are a unique blend of a metropolitan market mixed with traditional rural life. DeSoto County has grown into a destination county for individuals, families and corporations. So, it's no surprise that DeSoto County continues to be one of the fastest growing counties in the nation.  Our population topped 154,000 in 2008, marking a 44 percent increase from 2000. 

DeSoto County provides plenty of things to do, but if you get bored you don't have to go far to be entertained. Memphis and Tunica are less than a 20 minute drive away. This metropolitan area has everything for everyone. Locally, the DeSoto Civic Center is the premier northwest Mississippi venue for concerts, live children's shows, sporting events, and conferences.
