What it’s like
The place. Stewart is a very small community in Webster County, in northeastern Mississippi, and it is among the smallest places of its kind in the state. Winters are mild, snow is rare, and summers are hot. Rain falls heavily through the year, so the land tends to stay green and wet.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing and local shops. Others work in farming, forestry and mining, which are long-standing parts of life across this part of Mississippi. Across Webster County, the number of jobs grew over the past year, and fewer people were out of work than a year earlier.
Things to do. Calabrella Creek runs in or beside the town, so it is the easiest water to reach on foot or by car. Bywy Creek is a short drive away, and it suits a slower outing near the water. Tombigbee National Forest, a protected area of woods and open land, is a longer drive away but is the best choice for a full day outdoors.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Webster County and the Starkville, MS metro.
