Message from the Mayor
Welcome to Decatur - where tradition meets progress and community is more than just a word.
As Mayor of this proud town, I'm honored to serve a place that embodies the values of faith, family, and education. Decatur is the county seat of Newton County, Mississippi, nestled along State Highway 15 and home to institutions that shape lives and futures: East Central Community College, Newton County Schools, Newton County Academy and a wide range of local businesses and public offices.
Just beyond our town limits, Turkey Creek Water Park offers a scenic escape for fishing, camping, and family fun - reminding us that nature and recreation are part of what makes life here so special.
But what truly defines Decatur is its people. We are a community of neighbors who care deeply, work hard, and invest in one another. Whether you're considering starting a business, relocating your family, or simply passing through, I invite you to take a closer look. You'll find a town rooted in values, driven by purpose, and ready to welome you.
Decatur is more than a place to live-it's a place to belong.
Warm regards,
Lea Ann Rushing
Mayor, Town of Decatur
