Introduction
Mississippi became the United States twentieth state on December 10, 1817. The capital is Jackson. The name derives from the Chippewa words "mmici zibi", meaning "Father of Waters". The first lung and heart transplants were performed in Mississippi. Memorial Day was first celebrated in 1866 at the Friendship Cemetery in Columbus when the women of the town decorated both Union and Confederate graves to remember the dead. The Magnolia State measures 46,914 square miles, ranking it 31st of 50 states in land size.
