| Prairie Mount was located six miles north of Okolona, which is on US 45A, 21 miles south of Tupelo, in the absolute northeast corner of the county. It originally was a stage coach stop, but when the railroad promised to pass through the region, it would miss the old town by a few miles, so in 1848 it moved to the railroad and renamed itself Okolona. |
