This is the month the Mississippi Territory became a state 200 years ago. On December 10, 1817, Mississippi was officially recognized as the 20th state in the United States of America. 2017 has been a year of honoring our people and places, music and food, achievements in agriculture, science, and industry, sports legends, literary and artistic genius, and more. This Bicentennial special section celebrates the rich history of the Coast as
part of the state’s 200th birthday. We
thank our sponsors and advertisers for making it possible.
An expanded special section dedicated to the history of the Coast
