Welcome to Woodville, Mississippi, one of the state’s oldest towns and the proud county seat of Wilkinson County. Nestled in the rolling hills near the Louisiana border, we’re a small community of about 928 residents, rich in history and Southern charm. Home to the Woodville Republican, the oldest continuously operating newspaper in Mississippi since 1823, and the boyhood home of Jefferson Davis. We invite you to explore our historic roots, vibrant culture, and natural beauty—from the Clark Creek Natural Area to our National Register Historic District.
