“The face of DeSoto County is ever-changing as people continue to make it their home. But one group of newcomers is making more of an impact than others.

The number of Hispanics, as well as businesses and programs for them, has continually risen in recent years throughout the county.

From April 2000 to July 2006, the county saw its overall population grow by 35 percent to nearly 145,000, with the number of Hispanic residents more than doubling, according to U.S. Census statistics.”*
