Welcome to Jackson, Mississippi! This city, which lies along the Pearl River and offers residents a humid, subtropical climate, serves as the capital of the state and is the largest in Mississippi by population. It is the only capital city in the country to sit atop an extinct volcano, known as the Jackson Volcano.

Over the years, Jackson has earned the nickname "The City With Soul" because of the various soul, blues, and gospel musicians who've come from the area. Malaco Records was started here in 1968, and ever since, they've been responsible for producing music for top artists like Tyrone Davis, Denise LaSalle, and Shirley Brown. Jackson also has multiple historical and cultural districts and beautiful architecture.

The city is also home to the Jackson–Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport, which offers military, private, and commercial aviation. Located in Rankin County, this airport helps passengers get to cities all over the country and internationally. Major highways, including Interstate 220 and Interstate 55, pass through Jackson and help commuters get to work easily.
