The River City in Your Pocket: Exploring Vicksburg with the New VicksburgMS Mobile App

A City Steeped in History: Welcome to Vicksburg, Mississippi

Vicksburg Mississippi, stands as a high bluff sentinel on the east bank of the mighty Mississippi River, directly across from Louisiana. Established by French colonists in 1719 and incorporated in 1825, the city holds a pivotal place in American history. It is perhaps most famous as the site of the pivotal 47-day Siege of Vicksburg in 1863, where the Union victory secured control of the Mississippi River and is often cited as a turning point in the Civil War. Today, the Vicksburg National Military Park preserves this legacy, drawing history buffs from around the world. With a population of approximately 21,500 residents, Vicksburg remains a vibrant hub of Southern culture, commerce, and engineering innovation, notably home to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). To bridge its rich past with a connected future, the Vicksburg-Warren Partnership has introduced a powerful new digital tool for both citizens and visitors.
