The Mississippi Delta, also known as the Yazoo–Mississippi Delta, or simply the Delta, is the northwest section of the U.S. state of Mississippi (and portions of Arkansas and Louisiana) that lies between the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers. The region has been called "The Most Southern Place on Earth" ("Southern" in the sense of "characteristic of its region, the American South") because of its racial, cultural, and economic history.
