This Pike county city was chartered in 1872 by Colonel H. S. McComb, president of the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad. Today we enjoy it's history, modern events, and local businesses that keeps our locals connected. A bit of history is currently being rebuilt, as the Railroad Depot Museum is a non-profit organization that's temporarily closed due to the fire in 2021. They are in various stages of rebuilding, encouraging the community to contribute. On the other hand, the historic Palace Theatre has returned to being a great place to be! It was originally the Hub of Main Street in the downtown area for 50 years, from 1939-1979. Movie films and the aroma of pop corn drew people in. After a period of being closed, people who love this community came together to restore it to the multi purpose venue it is today. Designed to bring people together, several events and activities happen here to this day.
The area also has a public airport, McComb–Pike County Airport, also known as John E. Lewis Field. People are drawn to many attractions such as the Black History Gallery, Buddy's, and Percy Quin State Park (which encompasses Quail Hollow Golf Course). Every month there's Family Night events with live music and family friendly activities on Main Street and Broadway. There's annual golf tournaments at Fernwood Country Club, which has rolling terrain enriched with tradition of making memories since 1924. Every year there's a Mardi Gras Festival with a parade on Delaware Ave and Christmas tree lightings at Bo Diddley Pavilion. A fun fact about this town is it's nickname "Camellia City of America", as it has the widest variety of the flowers, more than any other location, in the United States.
