Visiting Historic Natchez, Mississippi
Historic Natchez, Mississippi began as a fort established by French colonists on the Mississippi River in 1716, but was ceded to Spain in 1763. Later, it became British territory, and finally became part of the United States after the Revolutionary War. It served as the capital of Mississippi and then was the first capital of the state of Mississippi.
As the southern terminus of the Natchez Trace, which connected Natchez to Nashville, Tennessee, it helped lead to the settlement of what was then the southwestern part of the United States.
Southern plantations - and slavery - became an important part of the city's economy and culture in the 1800s. After the war, its role as an important river port supported local industry, but both of those faded over time.
Today Natchez is a popular tourist destination, primarily for its historic sites, river-related activites and antebellum architecture.
