Nettleton
Nettleton, Mississippi is located on four-lane U.S. Highway 45, approximately 20 miles south of its intersection with Interstate 22, and is your link to any destination in North America! The City of Nettleton was incorporated soon after the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad (KCM&B) began traveling through Lee and Monroe Counties. Several local businessmen decided to take advantage of the new railway and established the City of Nettleton in 1888. Nettleton was named after George Henry Nettleton, then president of the KCM&B Railroad. Nettleton is a friendly place to live and raise a family, establish and grow a business or simply "enjoy the good life."
