== Fun facts ==
* It was not until 1935-1936, during the Great Depression under a WPA project, that the first east-west road was built across the county, connecting the city of Bay Springs in the west with Rose Hill, north of the community of Paulding, in the east.
* The county is still largely rural, leading the state in timber, cattle, and poultry production. It is the state's major producer of gas and oil, with resources concentrated near the community of Heidelberg.
* Bay Springs was the site of one of six Sunbeam plants in Mississippi. When Albert J. Dunlap downsized the company and closed the plant, 300 people lost their jobs. The last workers left the plant at the same time that Dunlap was negotiating a new contract for himself, worth over $46 million. The average annual salary at the Bay Springs plant had been less than $25,000. More recently, the Hol-Mac Corporation has located light industrial/manufacturing facilities in and around the Bay Springs area. One of the county's largest employers, this developing corporation has partnered with nearby Jones County Junior College with regard to job training and continues to expand employment opportunities in the local community.[8] Hol-Mac operates facilities in the town of Bay Springs and north of town in designated industrial areas between Bay Springs and the town of Louin. As of 2015, it has three main manufacturing facilities in the area, as well as additional office/HR support facilities.
* Paulding is one of few unincorporated county seats in the United States.
* Bay Springs has little to offer. It's home to Thigpen Field, a few public battle fields, a sports complex, Subway, Hardee's, Sonic Drive-In, a Georgia-Pacific plant, a few local restaurants and businesses, a few gas stations, Piggly Wiggly, Fred's, dollar stores, a few used car dealers, and that's about it.
