Coldwater is a town in Tate County, Mississippi, United States, and is part of the Memphis Metropolitan Area.

Rows of stores and other businesses developed on both sides of the tracks, along with houses of worship.

At that time, the Town was located in DeSoto County and was a mile square, with the railroad depot at the center.

The Town began to grow with an influx of settlers from Virginia, the Carolinas, Alabama, and other areas seeking a better life for themselves and their families.

However, periodic river flooding plagued the town, although it was also the basis of the farmland's fertility.

The Army Corps of Engineers built the Arkabutla Lake and Dam project along the Coldwater River in the early 1940s.

As of the 2020 United States Census, there were 1,381 people, 711 households, and 541 families residing in the town.
