| 説明 | Incorporated in 1828, and in the 19th century was only three votes away from being the capital of the Mississippi Territory. Rodney was noted for its high level of culture, county fairs and business activity. Rodney once contained two banks, two newspapers, 500 people, and 35 stores. Cottonseed development, riverboat landing, river boat taverns and high literacy made Rodney a leading river town. Spared disaster during the Civil War. Rodney declined following the change in the Mississippi River channel and tragic fires as well as a yellow fever epidemics of 1843 and 1898. Rodney was originally settled by the French in 1763 and named Petit Gouffre (Little Gulf) Early maps dating back to 1715 suggest that Rodney was a site were early American Indians crossed the Mississippi River. Once a thriving community rich in history, Rodney lies now nearly completely overgrown and forgotten. All that is left of this piece of Mississippi heritage is the buildings that you see in these pictures and the cemetery deep in the woods behind the Presbyterian Church, it too overgrown with crumbling headstones marking the final resting place of the people that called this place home.www.old-new-orleans.com/Rodney.html |
