History of Flowood Mississippi
Flowood’s earliest inhabitants were Indians and early American settlers who planted their crops along the fertile banks of the Pearl River. In 1951 a small group of locals decided to start the town of Flowood and by 1953 the town was chartered. Over the years the Pearl River caused several floods throughout the community. The big flood of 1962 was the impetus for the new levees to be built. As the town progressed, it was incorporated as the City of Flowood, Mississippi, in 1990. As Flowood continues to grow, it’s no wonder more rural real estate in Mississippi homes are being built to accommodate the influx of new residents.
