Count: 0. Note that no incorporated cities or towns in Mississippi start with the letter X. This count follows authoritative sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau, the Mississippi Municipal League, and the U.S. Geological Survey’s GNIS, which record official municipalities and recognized populated places. An interesting detail: X is one of the rarest initial letters in English place names, and Mississippi place names come largely from English, Native American, and French origins rather than the Greek or Spanish roots that sometimes produce X-initial names.
Explain why this yields no results. Historical settlement patterns and naming conventions in Mississippi make an X initial unlikely, and the formal processes for incorporation and federal place recognition never produced an X-starting municipal name in the state. Consider close matches instead: places that contain the letter X (for example, Oxford) or named features and historic sites listed in GNIS that include X within the name rather than at the start. Consult the Census place files and GNIS if confirmation or adjacent-state comparisons are required.
