Madison

Madison has served as a railroad town in central Mississippi since the mid-19th century. It developed as Madison Station on the Illinois Central Railroad, a route that connected Jackson with communities farther north. Today, it is a residential and commercial centre in the Jackson metropolitan area, while its name still recalls its rail-era origins. Madison lies west of the Ross Barnett Reservoir, the large Pearl River impoundment that shapes much of eastern Madison County. The nearby Natchez Trace Parkway follows an historic travel corridor through Mississippi’s wooded interior.
