Mississippi State is the official name for the area around Mississippi State University, which lies partly in neighboring Starkville. The university began as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of the State of Mississippi, one of the land-grant colleges made possible by the Morrill Act of 1862. The legislature created it on February 28, 1878, to teach "agriculture, horticulture and the mechanical arts" along with other sciences, classical studies and military tactics, and it received its first students in the fall of 1880 under its president, General Stephen D. Lee.
The Hatch Act of 1887 led to the Agricultural Experiment Station in 1888, and the Cooperative Extension Service followed in 1914. The legislature renamed the school Mississippi State College in 1932. After it organized a graduate school in 1936, began doctoral programs in 1951 and added a School of Forest Resources and a College of Arts and Sciences, it was renamed Mississippi State University in 1958. The university was desegregated in July 1965, when Richard E. Holmes became its first African American student. Johnny Cash played a show there on May 10, 1965, the night before his arrest in Starkville.
