Leland bills itself as "Birthplace of the Frog and Home of the Blues." A historic marker in the town reads: “Birthplace of Kermit the Frog —Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets grew up and played along Deer Creek during the years 1936-1948, exploring its flora and fauna from here to Stoneville. Sometimes, he was joined by his friend, Kermit Scott. These experiences and fond memories spawned in Henson's mind that timeless creation—"Kermit," the original Muppet.”

abstract	Leland bills itself as "Birthplace of the Frog and Home of the Blues." A historic marker in the town reads: “Birthplace of Kermit the Frog —Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets grew up and played along Deer Creek during the years 1936-1948, exploring its flora and fauna from here to Stoneville. Sometimes, he was joined by his friend, Kermit Scott. These experiences and fond memories spawned in Henson's mind that timeless creation—"Kermit," the original Muppet.” Henson was born in nearby Greenville, and the Henson family lived in Stoneville, an adjacent unincorporated community where Henson's father worked as a USDA agronomist (Henson attended elementary school in Leland, because Stoneville had no schools of its own). Furthermore, Henson created his first Kermit puppet while living in Hyattsville, Maryland, and the original Kermit was not a frog but rather a lizard-like character of indeterminate species.
