The Mississippi state legislature wanted the seat of governmentmoved out of the Natchez area and into a more central location. Itcommissioned three men to locate an ideal place for a town that couldbecome the state capital. After surveying areas north and east ofJackson, Thomas Hinds, James Patton and William Lattimore foundno desirable site in that vicinity (what is now southeast MadisonCounty) and the group proceeded southwest along the Pearl Riveruntil they came to LeFleur’s Bluff. Their report to the GeneralAssembly was that this location had “beautiful and healthfulsurroundings, good water, abundant timber, navigable waters, andnearness to the Natchez Trace.”
A legislative act dated November 28, 1821, authorized the locationto be the permanent seat of government for the state and that it wouldbe named Jackson, in honor of Major General Andrew Jackson whowould later become the seventh president of the United States.
The building of a new state house had top priority and a $3,500contract was awarded to build Mississippi’s first capitol, a two-storybrick structure 40 feet by 30 feet. In December, 1822, eight senatorsand 22 state representatives attended the historic opening session inthe house “erected exclusively for the purpose of legislation.”
Shortly after the adoption of the Constitution of 1832 that ensuredJackson would be the permanent capital, the Mississippi legislatureauthorized the construction of a new, and much larger, house ofgovernment. The construction of a capitol of such grandeur in a smalltown of less than 1,000 people, with dirt streets and boardwalks,represented the bold vision and bright hopes that Mississippians hadfor the future. Before construction was well underway, the economycrashed into one of the most severe depressions in American history.
The dream of a suitable state house was kept alive as funding was squeezed out of a virtually bankrupt treasury, but it was to be 1839 before the dream became a reality and a beautiful new buildingwas completed.
This magnificent example of Greek Revival architecture remainedthe seat of state government until 1903. It lay dormant for severalyears, and then served as state offices until the late 1950s. Havingsurvived several threats of destruction, the Old Capitol was lovinglyrestored and opened to the public as a state historical museum in 1961.
Damaged during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Old Capitol was restored to its former glory and reopened as a state house museumin 2009.
A third capitol building, referred to as the “New Capitol,” wascompleted in 1903. This magnificent structure, patterned after theNational Capitol, is a major tourist attraction today, as well as thefocus of Mississippi state government activities.
Two other buildings are worthy of note. The Governor’s Mansion,authorized in 1839 and completed in 1842, is the second oldestresidence of its type in the nation and is listed in the National Registerof Historic Places. Jackson’s City Hall, built in 1846 for less than$8,000, is still the working seat of municipal government after morethan 140 years. The massively-columned three-story building and thegardens that surround it are two of the most photographed locations in the city.
Jackson’s growth in the 1800s was slow and sometimes painful.During the Civil War, the town was ravaged and burned three times by Union troops under the command of General William
A BRIEFHISTORICALSKETCH
Jackson was founded in 1821 at the site of a trading post that was situated on a “high, handsome bluff” on the west bank of the Pearl River. Legend tells that
the trading post was operated by a French-Canadian trader named Louis LeFleur, and the town originally was called LeFleur’s Bluff.
Tecumseh Sherman. Surprisingly, the City Hall was spared the torch.It was rumored that Sherman bypassed the building because it housed a Masonic Lodge and that the Union Leader was himself aMason. More likely its use as a hospital was the reason the buildingwas not burned.
Although less than 8,000 people lived in Jackson at the turn of thecentury, its population began accelerating rapidly after 1900, and it isnow one of the dynamic growth cities of the Sunbelt. In 2006, thepopulation had climbed to more than 175,000 and the metropolitanarea rose to better than 500,000. It is a major distribution center witha prime location of equal distance between Memphis and NewOrleans (north-south), and between Dallas and Atlanta (east-west).Government – representing city, county, state, and federal agencies –is the city’s largest employer.
As a major distribution center, efficient transportation facilitiesare a must. Major air carriers are located in the Jackson-EversInternational Airport. The Canadian National/Illinois CentralRailroad and the Kansas City Southern Rail road and scores of majortruck lines provide freight service to all parts of the nation. Jacksonboasts a regional shopping mall and several smaller, multi-store
centers. Six hospitals, including the nationally renowned University ofMississippi Medical Center, provide diagnosis and treatment fornearly every possible physical and emotional ailment.
Every major religious faith is represented in the city, and there aremore than 400 houses of worship scattered throughout the 105 squaremiles of community. An excellent public school system is an integralpart of the city proper, as well as several private and parochial schools.Five colleges and three universities are located within 15 miles of thecity’s center.
Thousands of acres of public parks, formal and informal gardens, anationally famous zoo, neighborhood playgrounds, and baseball,football, tennis, and soccer fields provide recreational outlets for allJackson citizens. Outdoor living is paramount and all types ofactivities are available. Jogging and bike routes, nature trails, tenniscenters, public and private golf courses, swimming pools and healthclubs abound. The 50-square-mile Ross Barnett Reservoir, 12 milesnortheast of the city center, is a haven for skiers, fishermen, campers,swimmers, and boating enthusiasts.
Residents are extremely proud of their famed Southernhospitality and outstanding quality of life. Community support isstrong for a sym phony orchestra, ballet company, an opera company,numerous theater groups, and world-class performances presentedby local arts organizations.
Every four years, Jackson hosts the official USA InternationalBallet Competition at beautiful Thalia Mara Hall. The MississippiArts District also includes the International Museum of MuslimCultures, the Russell C. Davis Planetarium, and the MississippiMuseum of Art.
Gourmet dining and nightlife sparkle on the Jackson scene. Manycultures and ethnic groups provide the city with cuisine that is trulyinternational. One can choose from many different styles includingGreek, Caribbean, Continental, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican,or good old Southern style.
With a rich history, convenient transportation, thriving culturalcommunity and international cuisine, Jackson provides entertainmentand Southern hospitality only found in the City with Soul.
