Moorhead is a city in Sunflower County, Mississippi, United States.

This is the origin of the legendary blues crossroads phrase "where the Southern cross the Dog".

[4] As of the 2020 United States Census, there were 1,937 people, 522 households, and 313 families residing in the city.

The racial makeup of the city was 82.2% Black, 16.3% White, 0.3% Native American, 0.2% Asian and 0.2% from two or more races.

The level junction (diamond) is still preserved as an historic site, though the north-south line has since been abandoned through Moorhead.

It is widely believed that W. C. Handy, after hearing an old man singing about "where the Southern cross the Yellow Dog", was moved by the sound and began what came to be known as the "blues".

[13] Moorhead is home to Mississippi Delta Community College's main campus.
