A college town in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, built around Mississippi State University, with a compact centre of cafés, restaurants, and historic churches. Founded in 1831 as Boardtown for its sawmilling trade, it was renamed in 1837 to honour Revolutionary War general John Stark. The Cotton District, developed in the 1960s as North America's first New Urbanist community, sits between downtown and the university campus and remains an active student quarter.
