During the American Civil War, in 1863, was the scene of the famous Siege of Vicksburg , a very important event for the fortunes of war. In fact, with the victory at Vicksburg, Union soldiers led by Major General Ulysses S. Grant is for full control of the Mississippi River. The Confederate troops, who defended the city, led by Tenente generale John C. Pemberton, resistettero all'assedio 47 giorni. Le vittime furono circa 40.000 in entrambi gli schieramenti.
In città vi è la McRaven House , considerata una delle case più infestate dai fantasmi in America.
L'area circostante è ricca di zone paludose e fangose; sembra quindi opportuno ascoltare Muddy Waters nel celebre pezzo " Hoochie-Coochie Man "
