TECH CENTERED, ENTREPRENEURIAL, COOL, HISTORIC, AND FULL OF ART
About Vicksburg
Since its foundation in 1825 Vicksburg has maintained its leading role as a trading center on the Mississippi River and as an important State gateway for national and international trade. Founded on a tradition of commerce and entrepreneurship, Vicksburg’s roots diversified as a plethora of immigrants from different faiths and origins populated the City over the decades. From the French settlers of the early 1700’s, through the dominion of the Spanish, and the rise of the current City by Protestant settlers in early 1800’s, Vicksburguers are heirs to layers of complicated history that drew from the contributions of many immigrants and faiths which created an open river culture that has proven a recipe for success and longevity.
With their ingenuity, innovative spirit, and problem-solving nature, Vicksburguers have played a key role in shaping America’s History, taming of the Country’s biggest superhighway (The Mississippi River), and solving the nation’s toughest military and civilian challenges for over two centuries.
