Built around a railroad maintenance facility, McComb grew into a city in southern Mississippi. The Illinois Central Railroad shaped its economy, and a former railroad depot now houses the McComb Railroad Museum, documenting the town’s rail heritage. McComb is also associated with the 1961 McComb Movement, when Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee activists organized voter-registration work during the civil-rights struggle. The Bogue Chitto River runs through Pike County east of the city, while nearby Percy Quin State Park centres on Lake Tangipahoa.
