I was wondering if there really is a Sparta Mississipp.

No

And parts of the show were actually filmed in Georgia.

Atlanta Georgia.

There really is one, but the Sparta in the show wasn't really based on it. The show was filmed in Hammond, Louisiana and later Covington, Georgia.

I thought I saw a Sparta on the map. Didn't know this Sparta was different.

Thanks for the info! :wave:

Man I did not know that in The Heat of The Night was filed in Hammond, Louisiana that is Near where I Live.
