Branch Olive
Branch is a city in DeSoto County, Mississippi, United States. The population was 21,054 at the 2000 census. A July 1, 2008
United States Census
Bureau estimate placed the population at
31,830, making it the ninth-largest city in the state of
Mississippi.
Olive Branch is a suburb
of Memphis, Tennessee and is part of the Memphis Metropolitan Statistical
Area, a region that consists of three
counties in southwest Tennessee, four counties in northwest Mississippi, and one
county in eastern Arkansas. Along with other
fast growing suburban cities in DeSoto County, Olive Branch attributes most of
its growth and development to the exodus of large numbers of middle-class
families from central Memphis. Mrs. Frances Wilson
Blocker, a descendant of one the community's founders, suggested the name as a
way to symbolize the biblical story of a dove bringing a branch to
Noah. The village experienced
modest growth during the next few decades, rising from 441 in the 1940 census,
to 534 in 1950, and 642 in 1960. Growth accelerated in the 1960s and by 1970,
the population had more than doubled to 1,513. In 1971, a site located a few
miles from downtown Olive Branch was chosen as the home of Holiday Inn University and Conference Center. Simultaneous with
construction of the University, Holiday Inn began work on a 3,000-acre
industrial park. This was followed by the opening of Olive Branch
Airport in January 1973. With a runway length
of 6,000 feet, it is currently one of Mississippi's top five most active
airports for landings and takeoffs.[7] U.S. Highway 78 was built through Olive Branch in 1974. Such developments and
infrastructure improvements brought an influx of jobs, industries, and people to
DeSoto County and Olive Branch. By 2000, the population
had risen to 21,054, a 490 percent increase over the 1990 figure. With a
population of just under 32,000 residents as of 2008, Olive Branch is the
ninth-largest city in Mississippi, behind eighth-ranked Greenville. Income & Housing Costs Numbers: Estimated median household income in 2008: $68,776 (it
was $55,187 in 2000)
Estimated median house or condo value in 2008: $203,331
(it was $125,700 in 2000)
