About Leake County... Leake County is located almost dead-center of the state of Mississippi. Leake County was organized on December 23, 1833 and was named in honor of Walter Leake, a prominent Mississippi politician who served in many offices in the state including Governor, Senator, and Supreme Court Judge. The county seat of Carthage was established in 1834 by the Harris family.
Following Mississippiâs admission to statehood, Leake was appointed one of the state's first two United States senators. In 1820, after he resigned his Senate seat, Leake was appointed to the Mississippi Supreme Court to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge John Taylor. He served on the high court until his inauguration as governor in January of 1822.
