History
Flowood is a city located in Rankin County, Mississippi, USA. It is a suburb of the state capital, Jackson, and is situated in the central part of the state. Flowood's history dates back to the early 19th century when the area was primarily inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Choctaw people.
The region's growth and development were influenced significantly by the arrival of the railroad in the late 19th century. The New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad played a crucial role in connecting Flowood to other parts of Mississippi and beyond, facilitating transportation and trade. This led to the establishment of several small settlements in the area, with Flowood being one of them.
