Summit is located in Pike County in the far southwestern portion of Mississippi. As of the 2000 census, the population was 1,428. Data for the 2010 census is not available. Summit is part of the McComb micropolitan statistical area. Founded as a railroad town, Summit was so-named because it was thought to be the highest point on the Illinois Central Railroad between New Orleans and Jackson, Tennessee. In reality, nearby Brookhaven has that distinction. Today, Summit is most well-known for being home to Southwest Mississippi Community College. Nearby McComb offers shops, restaurants, and other businesses. Other nearby attractions include Railroad Town and the McComb Railroad Museum, which has been proclaimed the "best rail museum south of Chicago." This region played a critical role in the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s. It was the location of SNCCs first voter registration project which was met with violence and intimidation on the part of authorities and the KKK. More than 100 McComb high school students were arrested in 1961 for protesting the murder of voter-registration activist Herbert Lee and the expulsion of Brenda Travis. McComb was the setting for several bombings involving racial strife.
