Gluckstadt is one of the newest cities in Mississippi, incorporated in 2018 out of unincorporated Madison County land along the I-55 corridor. A small part of the city of Jackson crosses into the southwestern corner of Madison County, but Jackson’s seat of government and the bulk of its population lie in neighboring Hinds County, so it is not listed as a Madison County place above. Beatties Bluff, once a trading post on the old Pearl River channel, survives today only as a historic site rather than an active community.<\/p>\n
