Mississippi is a state located in the Southern United States. Jackson is the state capital and biggest city. The state was given name from the Mississippi River, which flows all along its western border, and got its name from the Ojibwe word misi-ziibi (“Great River”). The state is greatly forested exterior to the Mississippi Delta region. Its farms produce the mass of farm-raised catfish used in the United States. The state symbol is the magnolia tree. Mississippi is surrounded on the north by Tennessee, on the eastern side by Alabama, on the southern side by Louisiana and a narrow coast on the Gulf of Mexico and on the western side, across the Mississippi River, by Louisiana and Arkansas. Main rivers in Mississippi include the Big Black River, the Pearl River, the Yazoo, the Pascagoula, and the Tombigbee. Main lakes are Ross Barnett Reservoir, Arkabutla Lake, Sardis Lake and Grenada Lake. The state of Mississippi is totally consists of low grounds, the highest point being Woodall hill, in the bases of the Cumberland Mountains, 806 feet above sea level. The lowest point is sea level at the Gulf shore. The average altitude in the state is 300 feet above sea level.

Mississippi has a moist weather with extensive summers and short, mild winters. Temperatures mean about 85°F in July and around 48 °F in January. The temperatures diverge little in the summer, but in winter the area near Mississippi Sound is considerably warmer than the internal segment of the state.

Mississippi is the poorest state of United States because of its dependence on cotton farming before and after the Civil War, late development of its frontier low lands in the Mississippi Delta, regular natural disasters of flooding in the late 19th and early 20th century requiring huge capital investment in levees, serious capital investment to ditch and consume the bottomlands, and time-consuming development of railroads to connect bottomland towns and river cities. The dependence on agriculture grew more and more expensive as the state suffered failure of crops due to the destruction of the boll weevil in the early 20th century, shocking floods in 1912–1913 and 1927, fall down of cotton prices after 1920, and drought in 1930.
