 Before statehood in 1817, Mississippi’s capital had at various times been at Natchez, Washington, and Columbia. A commission was appointed by the legislature in Februrary 1821 to find a more central location for the seat of state government. On November 20, 1821 the Mississippi legislature heard their report: the site the commissioners chose was called Le Fleur’s Bluff, on the Pearl River. It was named after Louis Le Fleur, a trader in the area, who was also the father of Greenwood Leflore. The legislature named the new town Jackson, after General Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), the hero of the War of 1812.
