For over
three hundred years, residents
of Hancock County have proudly
proclaimed the numerous virtues
of their coastal Mississippi
home. Natural wonders abound -
from extraordinary Gulf vistas,
to expansive marshes, to rich
forests and rolling farmland.

Our mild winter climate attracts
residents and visitors who enjoy
year-round recreational
activities like fishing,
golfing, boating or simply
strolling along the beach paths.
Artists are drawn to the area by
our historic buildings, quaint
towns and a unique sense of
community. Parents appreciate
the county’s public, private and
parochial schools, which boast
of both academic and athletic
achievement.

Our
economy is diversified, nurturing both
small and large business concerns.
Hancock County is also home to NASA-Stennis
Space Center , making us a national hub
of technology. The unique federal and
commercial “city” employees over 5,000
civil servants, contractors, scientists
and engineers. |

In
2005, Hancock County received national
attention as “ground zero” for Hurricane
Katrina - what many have called the
worst natural disaster in U.S.
history. Yet in the midst of
monumental loss, the citizens of the
county have proven that a sense of
community survives even the worst
devastation. Today, Hancock County is
rebounding at a speed many predicted was
impossible and we’re building back with
vision and new strength.

We invite you to join us - for a few
