Welcome
The Mayor and Board of Aldermen welcome you to the City of Natchez, the oldest city on the Mississippi River. Founded in 1716, our historic city offers a high quality of life unlike any other in the Deep South. World famous for our hospitality, the people of Natchez are our finest resource, and we are proud to call it home. We offer a wide range of cultural opportunities for visitors, residents and businesses and look forward to providing you with helpful information.
Mayor Jake Middleton and the Board of Aldermen cordially invite you to consider Natchez as a place to visit, live, start your new business, relocate your business, or as a retirement destination.
We are a Certified Retirement Community and a certified Main Street Community. Nationally known for our historic preservation, we are a premier cultural tourism destination, hosting some 700,000 visitors a year, and in 2008, we received the prestigious federal designation as a Preserve America Community.
As much as we respect the past, we also look to the future and welcome new businesses, industries and residents. We have a ready supply of workers, both skilled and laborers, with resources to provide local training as needed.
