Hernando: DeSoto County's Historic Seat
Hernando is the county seat of DeSoto County, named after Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto. The town square features the DeSoto County Courthouse, built in 1942, surrounded by local businesses and restaurants. While smaller than its DeSoto County neighbors Southaven and Olive Branch, Hernando has maintained a distinct small-town identity.
The Hernando town square hosts a farmers market and community events throughout the year. Arkabutla Lake, a flood control reservoir managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, lies just south of town and offers fishing, camping, and boating. DeSoto County's overall growth has lifted Hernando's population as well.
Residential development has expanded outward from the historic center, with new subdivisions appearing along Highway 51 and surrounding roads. The DeSoto County School District, which serves Hernando, is one of the top-performing systems in Mississippi.
The Hernando Point area near Arkabutla Lake has developed with boat launches and campgrounds. The city hosts the annual Hernando Main Street Festival, which brings food vendors and live music to the town square. New commercial development along Commerce Street has expanded retail options.
