City of Nettleton

Nettleton is a friendly place to live and raise a family, establish and grow a business or enjoy the “good life.” Nettleton is located on four-lane U.S. Highway 45, which is your link to any destination in the United States.

Early industry in Nettleton was the lumber business. Nettleton Hardwood Company opened in 1890 and shipped wood to every state in the nation and large quantities to international markets. After the best timber was exhausted, Nettleton continued as a farming community and slowly but steadily transformed into a small city through the development of the railroad and the construction of Mississippi Highway 6. The City of Nettleton was incorporated soon after the Kansas, Memphis, and Birmingham Railroad, and now the Burlington Northern Santa Fe began traveling through Lee and Monroe Counties. Several men decided to take advantage of the new railway and established the City of Nettleton in 1888. Nettleton was named after George Henry Nettleton, then president of the Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham Railroad.
