Cleveland
The City of Cleveland, Mississippi is located in the Mississippi Delta. Cleveland is proud to be the home of Delta State University, and we celebrate the wealth of resources and knowledge they bring to our region. With a dedication to higher learning combined with down home spirit, we are firmly positioned as the Delta's College Town. Cleveland is surrounded by the arts, from the Bologna Performing Arts Center to the Ellis Theater from our potters, painters, and poets to the Delta Music Institute and Grammy Museum Mississippi. Every day, the arts add color to our life and culture to our community and our Delta. We are proud of our preserved downtown, where you can spend the day getting lost in our shops and restaurants, and discover for yourself that small town charm and personal service are still alive and well. We invite you to be our guest, and are pleased to help you discover a different delta flavor.
