Counties with two seats

Of Mississippi’s 82 counties, 10 are split into two judicial districts, each with its own courthouse, so they have two county seats: Bolivar County (Cleveland and Rosedale), Carroll County (Carrollton and Vaiden), Chickasaw County (Houston and Okolona), Harrison County (Gulfport and Biloxi), Hinds County (Jackson and Raymond), Jasper County (Bay Springs and Paulding), Jones County (Laurel and Ellisville), Panola County (Batesville and Sardis), Tallahatchie County (Charleston and Sumner), Yalobusha County (Water Valley and Coffeeville).

Each county is governed by a five-member board of supervisors, one elected from each district (called a beat).
