Greenville

Greenville occupies the alluvial plain of the Mississippi Delta beside Lake Ferguson, an oxbow lake of the Mississippi River, in western Mississippi. The broad, level setting is part of a farming region shaped by the river’s shifting channels and flood history. Downtown faces the lake, while the Greenville Cypress Preserve protects a patch of bottomland forest within the city. Greenville is also the birthplace of puppeteer and filmmaker Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets. The Winterville Mounds, a Native American ceremonial site north of town, add a much older layer to the area’s story.
