Raymond blends deep history with an easygoing daily rhythm, making it a place where front-porch conversations and college energy meet. Just minutes from Clinton and a straightforward hop to Jackson, it sits within Hinds County and offers quick access to the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway via Clinton—perfect for cycling, jogging, or unhurried drives along the Natchez Trace Parkway. City services and community events are highlighted by the City of Raymond, which anchors a historic square lined with locally owned spots and handsome 19th-century architecture.
History here isn’t a backdrop—it’s an experience. The Greek Revival courthouse presides over the center of town, and the nearby Raymond Military Park preserves key terrain from the Battle of Raymond in the Vicksburg Campaign, with interpretive markers and quiet walking paths shaded by hardwoods. Families appreciate everyday conveniences, from neighborhood parks to the Raymond Public Library, part of the Jackson Hinds Library System.
Education is a point of pride. The Raymond Campus of Hinds Community College brings year-round activity, arts, and workforce training, while local schools within the Hinds County School District support students from elementary through high school. Commuters value the small-town pace with big-city proximity, and homebuyers find a mix of historic cottages, established neighborhoods, and newer builds.
