History of Flora Mississippi
Early settlers found their way into the southern hills and valleys of Flora as they were looking for fertile farm land along the Mississippi Delta. By 1830, the area became not only a rural farming community, but also a major shipping distribution point for cotton and lumber from the south.

The historic Mississippi Petrified Forest, which was unearthed in 1854, has been one of our Registered National Natural Landmarks since 1966. It was formed millions of years ago from an out-of-control river that created a massive log jam. Over the years, the sandy soil washed away and revealed the petrified logs that visitors can still see today. Flora's natural environment has lots to offer home buyers. With fertile land, wide open spaces for hunting, lakes for fishing, and available acreage for horses, Flora is a popular place to purchase rural real estate in Mississippi.
