Hobo Station is an unincorporated community in Prentiss County, Mississippi, United States. [1]
Hobo Station was named for a shanty built at a rural intersection where hitchhikers would wait for passing motorists. The community was once home to a grocery store, cotton gin, and grist mill. As of 2002, a convenience store sits at the site of the former grocery store. [2]
