The Mississippi State Capitol or the “New Capitol,” has been the seat of the state’s government since it succeeded the old Mississippi State House in 1903. Located in the centrally-located state capital / capital city of Jackson, in Hinds County, it was designated as a Mississippi Landmark in 1986, and subsequently a National Historic Landmark in 2016 and earlier added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, (lists and descriptive information maintained by the National Park Service of the United States Department of the Interior).
