Welcome to Olive Branch!

Greetings from Olive Branch, Mississippi! We are proud of our city and my hope is that you take some time to learn more about us and spend some time here. Olive Branch has been a Tree City USA since 2001. Over the past few years, we have received four (4) Keep Mississippi Beautiful awards, two (2) Urban Forestry awards, and I have been named a Green Mayor twice by the Mississippi Urban Forestry Council.

A national publication has listed Olive Branch as one of America’s best places to live, not once but two times! We work hard to blend the old with the new here. Come and visit our quaint Old Towne area and step back in time to the early 1900s or shop with leading national retailers in our other commercial areas.

We have beautiful parks that host sports activities along with quiet walks by the lake. Enjoy one of the best fireworks shows in the area at the Fourth of July or arts and crafts shows in Old Towne at various times during the year.

Olive Branch has seen phenomenal growth over the past decade -- 32,000 people now call Olive Branch home. We have grown from a small town to a vibrant metropolitan community and are committed to protecting our quality of life. Spend some time with us, and I am convinced that you will want to make Olive Branch, your hometown too.

Sam Rikard
Mayor
