Satartia is a village in Yazoo County, Mississippi. The population was 68 at the 2000 census. Located on the east bank of the Yazoo River, Satartia was once a thriving river port, and is one of the oldest non-Native settlements in Yazoo County. ==History== Satartia is a Choctaw word meaning "pumpkin place", likely due to the small gourds that grow in the area. In the early 1800s, Satartia was a busy shipping point from which cotton was transported by steamboat to New Orleans along the Yazoo River.〔 During the Civil War, General Grant sailed a gunboat from Vicksburg and captured the village; the Wilson House on Plum Street was used as his headquarters during the occupation.〔 The war also produced the "Satartia Rifles", a well-regarded Confederate regiment and recruitment group.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Mississippi Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans )〕 Currently there is one small country grocery store and a cotton processing gin in Satartia. The Emmaus (Christian) Retreat Center is located at the nearby No Mistake Plantation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Satartia, Mississippi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
