History

The courthouse is still in use as a secondary location of county legal matters (the city of Jackson having become the primary county seat) and the Raymond courthouse is considered by many to be a prime example of southern Greek Revival architecture.Image:Raymond Watertower portrait.jpg water tower The Battle of Raymond was fought by Confederate States of America and Union soldiers near Raymond on May 12, 1863 as part of General Ulysses S. In the late 1840s, Cooper's Well, a property near Raymond with a water well that provided sulphured water, was developed into a resort for those seeking the perceived health benefits from its ingestion.Image:Raymond Courthouse.jpg Courthouse Construction of a new courthouse was begun at the center of the town square in 1857 and completed in 1859, and was facilitated largely by slavery labor. The current location of Raymond is a ridge about a mile from the center of the county, and was selected because the center was low and subject to flooding. A small agricultural high school was opened in 1917 which eventually became Hinds Community College, a prominent community college in Mississippi. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 1,664.
