Welcome to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, known as the "Hub City." This community of nearly 49,000 residents combines historic charm with contemporary living. Home to the University of Southern Mississippi and William Carey University, Hattiesburg offers a blend of educational and cultural opportunities. The historic downtown district features preserved Victorian-era architecture that tells the story of the city's past. Current rental rates range from $914 for one-bedroom units to $1,460 for three-bedroom homes. Notable areas include the Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood District, which earned recognition from the American Planning Association, and the Midtown district near the university campus.
The city features several parks and outdoor spaces, complemented by cultural attractions like the Saenger Theatre. The African American Military History Museum, located in the country's only remaining USO Club built specifically for African American service members during World War II, preserves an important piece of American history. Each December, the Victorian Candlelit Christmas event illuminates the historic district with thousands of lights and traditional horse-drawn carriage rides. Located less than 100 miles from Jackson, the Gulf Coast, New Orleans, and Mobile, Hattiesburg earned its "Hub City" nickname in 1912 due to its position at the intersection of major railroad lines.
