ONLINE VACATION
PHILADELPHIA, MISSISSIPPI, USA
11/16/13
Hi Everyone. Today, we are going to Philadelphia. Mississippi, that is.
I didn't know there was one, so I decided to explore it.
Philadelphia is a city in and the county seat of Neshoba County,
Mississippi, United States. The county of Neshoba county was the
heart of Choctaw nation.
Philadelphia is incorporated as a municipality; it was given its current
name in 1903, two years before the railroad brought new opportunities
and prosperity to the town. The history of the town and its influences
can be seen in the many points of interest within and beyond the city
limits. These range from the large ceremonial Indian mound and cave at
Nanih Waiya, built about 1700 years ago and sacred to the Choctaw; to
the still thriving Williams Brothers Store, a true old-fashioned
general store founded in 1907 and featured in National Geographic in
1939 as a source of anything from “needles to horse collars”, and
still offering everything from bridles, butter and boots to flour,
feed and fashion.
As of the 2010 census, the population was 7,477. January is normally the
coldest month with average temperatures between 33 and 56 degrees
Fahrenheit. July is normally the warmest month with average
temperatures between 70 and 92 degrees F. March is normally the
rainiest month with 5.7 inches, with a yearly total of 52 inches of
rain. There is very little snowfall, with an average of one half inch of snow for the year.
I hope you enjoy the trip to Philadelphia, Mississippi.
