Tupelo, birthplace of Elvis Presley and the seventh largest city in Mississippi, is located in northeast Mississippi between Memphis, Tennessee and Birmingham, Alabama.
From healthcare to education, tourism to economic development, Tupelo is a diverse and progressive city that is moving confidently and energetically into the 21st Century. "I have always taken great pride in saying that I am from Tupelo, Mississippi. The folks in the town that raised me have done just about everything right and have justly earned the label of 'model city.' Tupelo is an exciting place to be for the 21st century," says Guy Hovis, Tupelo native and former star of Lawrence Welk Show. |
