The three coastal counties of Jackson, Harrison, and Hancock are home to the state’s largest Vietnamese population – Harrison County leads the way with more than half of the population."〕 ==History== Vietnamese came to the United States as a result of the Vietnam War, with many coming beginning 1975. Many Vietnamese fisherpeople who fled from the war settled in areas where they could resume their fishing activities, including the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The Biloxi community needed employees for oyster factories, so many Vietnamese began working there.〔 The seafood jobs did not require a significant fluency in English, attracting the immigrants.〔Kirgan, Harlan.
