Welcome to Wamba ...

So far, we found very little information about Wamba. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Wamba to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Wamba - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Wamba, please Contact Us.


While we don't have the exact location of Wamba , we believe that it would have been located within present day Attala County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Wamba, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1880.

Time Zone: The area where Wamba was located is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) and observes daylight saving time

The location where Wamba once stood is in the (662) area code.

Adding Wamba to Our Gazetteer ...

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Wamba was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>

From that list, the Wamba post office opened in 1880.

We also found Wamba in the book titled Business Atlas and Shippers' Guide (1895).

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Wamba, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of Mississippi's counties, including Attala, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>A copy of their list with background information can be found at:
