History of Ocean Springs

Biloxi, MS RoadyGoat

Biloxi, Mississippi, a city resting just twenty feet above sea level on the Mississippi Sound, has a history as deep as the Gulf itself. Its strategic location made it a natural choice for early French colonists, and the echoes of that era still resonate. While the town has faced its share of adversity, particularly the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, there's an undeniable resilience woven into its festive, beach-town atmosphere. The brown pelicans soaring over the coastline, once endangered, now represent a hopeful return. Perhaps that spirit is what draws people to Biloxi, or maybe it's something in the salt air.

Biloxi, MS RoadyGoat

Biloxi’s story is etched in sand and sea, a narrative shaped by its location on the Mississippi Sound. Early French explorers recognized its strategic value, laying claim to the area and establishing a foothold for trade. The proximity to the Gulf promised opportunity, but also vulnerability. Generations built their lives on the water, their fortunes tied to the ebb and flow of the tides and the bounty of the sea. Beauvoir, the home of Jefferson Davis, stands as a reminder of the antebellum South, a period of prosperity built on a foundation of injustice, and a war that forever changed the region. The city's spirit, however, is perhaps best embodied by the Biloxi Lighthouse. A silent sentinel, it has witnessed countless storms and the steady march of time. A time capsule buried at its base in 1937 holds secrets of a bygone era. The brown pelicans that now soar along the coast, once endangered, are a symbol of recovery. But the most profound marker of Biloxi's character is its resilience. Hurricane Katrina's devastation in 2005 tested the city to its core, leaving behind a trail of destruction and despair. Yet, from the wreckage, Biloxi rebuilt, its people determined to reclaim their vibrant beach town.

Living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast: The Anchor Towns RoadyGoat

Welcome to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. This whole stretch is a string of beach towns lined up along the water, and the two big anchors are Gulfport and Biloxi. That is where you will find casinos lit up at night, the port working around the clock, and Keesler Air Force Base, which has trained airmen down here for generations. Everything orbits those two cities, but every little town along the beach has its own flavor.
