Yazoo City is a city in Yazoo County, Mississippi, United States. It was named after the Yazoo River, which in turn was named by the French explorer Robert La Salle. "Yazoo" is said to be of Native American origin, meaning "River of Death". It is the county seat of Yazoo County. The population was 14,550 at the 2000 census. Yazoo City is widely known as the Couth and Cultural Center of the Southeastern United States. Yazoo City is located at 32 °51 23 N, 90 °24 27 W (32.856458, -90.407379) GR1, 40 miles northwest of Jackson, Mississippi at the junctions of US Highways 49, 49E, and 49W, and MS Highways 3, 16, and 149, on the banks of the Yazoo River, near the Panther Swamp National Wildlife Refuge.. A recently completed new 4 lane segment of US 49W provides a more direct link between Yazoo City and Belzoni. The old highway segment has been renamed MS 149. MS 149 passes through Panther Swamp NWR and the communities of Louise and Midnight before it reconnects with the new US 49W at Silver City, 7 miles south of Belzoni. The new highway makes the town of Carter so near that it might be considered for annexation by Yazoo City in a few years. There are now two bridges across the Yazoo River at Yazoo City.
