Sparta is an unincorporated community in Chickasaw County, Mississippi, United States.
Sparta was once home to two churches and a school.[1] A post office operated under the name Sparta from 1850 to 1905.[2]
Company H of the 13th Mississippi Infantry (known as "The Spartan Band") was enlisted at Sparta on March 23, 1861.[3] Soldiers from this company served with the Army of Northern Virginia in many battles, including First Manassas, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, and the Appomattox campaign.[4]
