The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Tucker is a census-designated place (CDP) in Neshoba County, Mississippi. It is one of the eight communities of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians Reservation and the population is 93% Choctaw. The population was 642 at the 2020 census.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 662 to 642 (-3%). Half of its homes were built before 1993.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Tucker yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Tucker is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Tucker has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Mt. Zion Methodist Church in Tucker, 3.8 miles away.
