Absolom Madden West (c. 1818 – September 30, 1894) was an American planter, Confederate militia general, state politician, railroad president and labor organizer. Born in Alabama, he became a plantation owner in Holmes County, Mississippi, and president of the Mississippi Central Railroad. He served in the American Civil War. After the war, he served in the Mississippi State Senate and ran for Vice President of the United States, unsuccessfully.
The Mississippi Valley Company was incorporated in Mississippi on April 2, 1872. It owned two lines of railroad - the Monticello Branch, 21 miles from Brookhaven to Monticello, Mississippi; and the Helena Branch, 11 miles from Lula to Eagles Nest, Mississippi.
