Natchez District : ウィキペディア英語版 | Natchez District
The Natchez District was one of two areas, the other being the Tombigbee District, that were the first to be colonized by British subjects from the Thirteen Colonies and elsewhere in what was West Florida and would later become the Mississippi Territory. The district was recognized to be the area east of the Mississippi River from Bayou Sara in the south (presently St. Francisville, Louisiana) and Bayou Pierre in the north (presently Port Gibson, Mississippi). Today, this area corresponds roughly with and includes most of the lands south of Interstate 20 and west of Interstate 55 in the state of Mississippi, in the southwest corner of the state. The riverfront areas of the Natchez District were developed as the first plantation areas in Mississippi. These plantations made up the wealthiest area in the antebellum South. Planter Stephen Duncan (1787-1867) was reported to have owned more than 1,000 slaves, making him the richest cotton plantation owner in the world at the time. ==History==
