A suburban city with a historic bridge

Historic Commuter Convenient Quaint Tight-knit

Byram is a suburban city located just 20 minutes south of the state capital, Jackson. Interstate 55 runs through the edge of the city providing residents with easy access to the surrounding areas. If you’re looking for amenities within the city, South Siwell is the place to be with many of the city’s eateries and large stores located off this road.
