Leland: Jim Henson's Hometown in the Delta
Leland, in Washington County, is the birthplace of Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets. Henson was born here in 1936 and spent his early childhood along Deer Creek before his family moved to Maryland. A small museum in a former train depot on South Deer Creek Drive documents his connection to the town.
Like most Delta communities, Leland's economy is rooted in agriculture. Cotton, soybeans, and rice are the primary crops on the flat alluvial soil. The city sits along Highway 82 and serves as a small commercial center within Washington County.
Deer Creek, a scenic waterway that runs through town, is a local landmark. Leland has experienced population decline in line with broader Delta trends as agricultural mechanization reduced the need for workers.
