Collins

Built around a stop on the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, Collins grew into the county seat of Covington County in south-central Mississippi. The city stands in the Pine Belt, a region of longleaf-pine country, wooded lowlands and gently rolling terrain rather than the Mississippi Delta’s broad floodplain. U.S. Route 49 runs through Collins, linking it with other communities across the state. The courthouse square remains a focal point of local life, while the Okatoma Festival reflects the community’s regional traditions and social calendar.
