== Fun facts ==
* Reflecting the decreased need for farm labor after mechanization and the development of industrial farms, the county's population has declined by more than two thirds since its peak in 1940.
* Martin Luther King originally wanted the Poor People's Campaign to start in Quitman County because of the intense and visible economic disparity there. On March 18, 1968, King visited the town of Marks. He watched a teacher feeding black schoolchildren their lunch, consisting only of a slice of apple and some crackers, and was moved to tears.
* Sledge is where country singer Charley Pride was born.
