The Canton Community
The Canton Community
Canton, Mississippi, the City of Lights, is located 30 miles north of Jackson and eight miles from the historic Natchez Trace Parkway. Canton is a vibrant community where history is alive and unfolding. The historic Canton Square has been named one of America’s most beautiful town squares. Thousands flock there twice yearly for the nationally famous Canton Flea Market Arts & Crafts Show. The streets are lined with beautiful antebellum and turn-of-the-century homes. Automobile manufacturer Nissan has major facilities in the area, located on the northern edge of the State Capital’s Metropolitan area. Canton residents have the best of both worlds by enjoying the small-town charm of a close-knit community while accessing the modern perks of a thriving metropolitan area. Annual events in the area include the Championship Hot Air Balloon Race, Victorian Christmas Festival, and the Gospel Fest Homecoming.
