Let’s start with a few things about the town of Vaiden, Mississippi. Vaiden was establish in 1860. The census has our population at 734, but we have grown a little since the census was taken in 2010. One of the town’s main goals is to be the healthiest small town in Mississippi.

- Early morning Walking Group at the North Vaiden Veterans Park
- The town received five (5) Gold Star Awards from the “Let’s Move” program started by the First Lady, Michelle Obama, as a healthy small town.
- The town won two imaginary playground set from KaBoom & Dr Pepper Snapple Group for our physical activities programs.
- The town received a self-help grant to build the North Vaiden Veterans Park along with two pavilions and a 16 feet wide rubberized Atlas Walking/Running Track.

There are several points of interest throughout the town. Besides our magnificent historical homes, we have a leather shop, cotton gin, St. Clements Episcopal Church built in the 1800s, Vaiden Cemetery, and our spectacular Vaiden Living Center.
But wait a minute, if you are hungry, we have some eateries also:T& M, the Truck Stop, Guy’s Fish House (Thursday-Saturday), and the Triple Stop Deli.
