Jackson is the state capital of Mississippi, as well as its largest city, hosting a population of nearly 175,000, and anchoring a metro area of over a half million. Named for Andrew Jackson, the nation's seventh President, the city has historical significance as a strategic location in the Civil War, and later as a major player in the Civil Rights Movement.
