Actually, there is a Birmingham, MS. It's in Lee county on County Road 251 just north of Tupelo, MS. Just FYI

Yes, but:

The Birmingham AL area was SUPPOSED to have been part of Mississippi.

Then in 1817, the U. S. Congress arbitrarily and capriciously cut “Alabama” out of Mississippi’s eastern lands.

(Some say ‘twas a gross injustice to the Magnolia State!)
