Brandon, Mississippi

Brandon is the County Seat of Rankin County. It has been said that Brandon has furnished the state with more governors, senators, congressmen, judges, district attorneys, physicians, and teachers than any other town of its size in the state.

In January of 1829, Brandon, named after the first native born governor- Gerard C. Brandon, was given the county seat. The big trees and cane were cleared from what we call the square and the courthouse was erected in the center. During the Civil War, Brandon felt the full wrath of General Sherman's Army as it marched through Jackson to Vicksburg. Most of the town was burned by the Yankee soldiers and most private homes were looted or burned. At the center of the town square stands a monument of a Confederate soldier placed there by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The site of the monument is historic because on that exact spot, General Sherman had his soldiers stack arms while he occupied the town.

Brandon houses the Rankin County Circuit and County Courts both of which are frequented by Coxwell & Associates attorneys over the years.
