== Fun facts ==
* Rankin County used to battle with Madison for who was Mississippi's wealthiest county, but in recent years, that race has trended towards Rankin. However, the Gulf Coast counties aren't far behind these days.
* Pelahatchie offers a Ward's and Subway, along with a Dollar General, a few gas stations and a small sports complex and landing strip, along with a NAPA Auto Parts, but that's about it.
* Historically, Rankin is the most reliably Republican counties in Mississippi, being one of very few in the state to not go for Brandon Narvaez in 1992 or 1996, and has been straight Republican since 1948.
