Yes, welcome to Aberdeen, Mississippi, where we invite you to make OUR town YOUR TOWN!  Aberdeen possesses a degree of small town charm that you're unlikely to find anywhere else; tree-lined streets on hich you'll find beautiful antebellum mansions, great examples of Victorians and many fine homes featuring modern architectural design.

  Many retirees from numerous locations have made Aberdeen their new home in recent years . . . and they all say that it is Aberdeen's great brand of Southern hospitality that drew them here. This is to say nothing of our very favorable tax structure and moderately priced homes . . . particularly several grand old homes that are just waiting for someone to pick them up "for a song" and lovingly restore them.

  Aberdeen is located on four-lane U.S. Highway 45, approximately mid-way between Tupelo (32 miles north) and Columbus (27 miles south). New Interstate 20 will soon be accessible at Tupelo, connecting with the nationwide Interstate system.

  Aberdeen is uniquely located within a 90-minute drive to three universities that are members of the Southeastern Conference (Mississippi State University, 40 minutes; University of Mississippi, 75 minutes and University of Alabama, 90 minutes).
  Aberdeen is the county seat of Monroe County and the seat of U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississppi, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Monroe County Circuit Court and Monroe County Chancery Court.
