Kingston (also called Jersey Town) is an unincorporated community in Adams County, Mississippi, United States.

Founded in 1784 in what was then British West Florida, Kingston is one of the earliest settlements in Adams County.

[2][3] The area was first settled in 1772 by Richard and Samuel Swayze of New Jersey, who purchased 1,900 acres (770 ha) of land.

[5] In 1773, Samuel Swayze, a Congregational pastor, organized what was then the first Protestant church in British West Florida.

[3][6] In 1822, Caleb King's son-in-law Daniel Farrar donated a plot of land where a brick church was built.
