Philadelphia is the county seat of Neshoba County. Not far away is Nanih Waiya, a mound and cave sacred to the Choctaw, built about 1,700 years ago. The town was given its present name, after Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1903, two years before the railroad arrived and brought new opportunities.
In June 1964, during Freedom Summer, the civil rights workers James Chaney, 21, Andrew Goodman, 20, and Michael Schwerner, 24, were murdered near Philadelphia by members of the Ku Klux Klan, among them deputy sheriff Cecil Price. Their bodies were buried in an earthen dam and found only after an FBI investigation. The murders were organized by Edgar Ray Killen. On August 3, 1980, Ronald Reagan, newly nominated for president, spoke at the Neshoba County Fair near Philadelphia and declared, "I believe in states' rights." In May 2009 James A. Young was elected the city's first Black mayor, serving from July 2009 until 2025. Sources Wikipedia: Philadelphia, Mississippi
