Biloxi
Long before European settlement, the area was inhabited by the Biloxi Tribe. Today’s culture of the Mississippi Gulf Coast is the product of a unique blend of multicultural groups that is the result of multiple waves of migration to the area over the course of the past 300 years.
A significant event in the history of Biloxi and the Mississippi Gulf Coast was the development of the modern seafood industry during the late 1800s and early 1900s that led to the areas self description as “The Seafood Capital of the World.” Today Military instalations and casinos have replaced seafood as the major industry in Biloxi.

GREATER BILOXI HISTORIC DISTRICT
This historic district is reflective of Biloxi’s post WWII growth. The Greater Biloxi Subdivision was a platted subdivision in 1946. The modest homes constructed in the subdivision met Biloxi’s growing demand for affordable housing for WWII veterans and other Biloxians. Minimal Traditional Style is the primary architectural style of the subdivision.
