Nettleton is a friendly
place to live and
raise a family, establish
and grow a business or
simply "enjoy the good
life." Nettleton is located
on four-lane U.S. Highway
45, approximately 20 miles
south of its intersection
with Interstate 22, and is
your
ink to any destination in
North America!
The City of
Nettleton was incorporated
soon after the Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham
Railroad (KCM&B) (now the
Burlington Northern Santa
Fe) began traveling through
Lee and Monroe Counties.
Several local businessmen
decided
to take advantage of the new
railway and established the
City of Nettleton in 1888.
Nettleton was named after
George Henry Nettleton, then
president of the KCM&B
Railroad. Mr. Nettleton was
instrumental in founding the
city.
Lumber business was
the early industry in
Nettleton - Nettleton
Hardwood Company opened in
1890 and shipped wood to
every state in the nation .
. . and large quantities to
the world market. After the
best timber was exhausted,
Nettleton continued as a
farming community and slowly
but steadily transformed
into a small city through
the development of the
railroad and the
construction of Mississippi
Highway 6.
 Now, more than 100
years after its founding,
the adaptability and
heritage of Nettleton
continue. Local residents
and businesses alike work
together and take pride in
their town. Nettleton has
excellent police, fire and
public works departments as
well as its own municipal
justice system. The new,
modern City Hall building is
less than eight years old
and an excellent facility
for local residents to use
in conducting their
city-related business.
In the 1950s the
residents of Nettleton chose
not to elect public
officials, and the State of
Mississippi rescinded the
city's charter. Then, in 1964,
Nettleton was
re-incorporated so state
funding could be sought for
a medical clinic. The City
of Nettleton is a Code
Charter Municipality.
