History

According to the United States Geological Survey, a variant name is 'Mayhew Station'. Mayhew is an unincorporated area village in Lowndes County, Mississippi County in the US state of Mississippi. Before the construction of the new US 82 and the expansion of US 45 to four lanes, the intersection of the original highways was a four way stop, because it was quite dangerous. Mayhew Station was the original name given to this community when it was moved from its original site (near Muldrow, Mississippi) to alongside the tracks of the newly built Mobile and Ohio Railroad (later Gulf, Mobile & Ohio) in the very early 1850s.

Mayhew is located at west of Columbus, Mississippi north of Artesia, Mississippi east of Starkville, Mississippi and south of West Point, Mississippi Point.
