|

Gulfport
is the
second-most populous city
in the
U.S. state
of
Mississippi
after the
state capital
,
Jackson
. Along with
Biloxi
, Gulfport is the co-
county seat
of
Harrison County
and part of the
Gulfport?Biloxi metropolitan area
.
[2]
As of the
2020 census
, Gulfport has a population of 72,926; the metro area has a population of 416,259.
[4]
[2]
Gulfport lies along the
gulf coast of the United States
in southern Mississippi, taking its name from its port on the Gulf Coast on the
Mississippi Sound
. It is home to the
U.S. Navy
Atlantic Fleet
Seabees
.

History
[
edit
]
Steamer loading resin in Gulfport, 1906
U.S. President
Gerald Ford
visited Gulfport during his
1976 reelection campaign
This area was occupied by indigenous cultures for thousands of years, culminating in the historic encounter between the
Choctaw
and the first European explorers of the area. Along the Gulf Coast, French colonists founded nearby
Biloxi
, and
Mobile
in the 18th century, well before the area was acquired from France by the United States in 1803 in the
Louisiana Purchase
. By the
Indian Removal Act
of 1830, the United States completed treaties to extinguish Choctaw and other tribal land claims and removed them to
Indian Territory
, now Oklahoma. In that period, the other four of the
Five Civilized Tribes
in the Southeast were also removed, to make way for white settlers to take over the lands and develop them for agriculture, especially cotton.
14th Street in Downtown Gulfport
An early settlement near this location, known as
Mississippi City
, appeared on a map of Mississippi from 1855.
[6]
Mississippi City was the county seat of Harrison County from 1841 to 1902, but is now a suburb in east Gulfport.
[7]
[8]
Gulfport was incorporated on July 28, 1898. The city was founded by
William H. Hardy
,
[9]
who was president of the
Gulf and Ship Island Railroad
(G&SIRR) that connected inland lumber mills to the coast. He was joined by
Joseph T. Jones
, who later took over the G&SIRR, dredged the harbor in Gulfport, and opened the shipping channel to the sea. In 1902, the harbor was completed and the
Port of Gulfport
became a working seaport. On April 28, 1904, the Treasury Department changed the port of entry for the district of the Pearl River from Shieldsboro to Gulfport.
[10]
It now accounts for millions of dollars in annual sales and tax revenue for the state of Mississippi.
In 1910, the U.S. Post Office and Customhouse was built here. This Gulfport Post office was listed on the
National Register of Historic Places
in 1984.
[11]
In March 1916, Mayor George M. Foote announced that the
Andrew Carnegie
foundation was going to aid in construction of a
Carnegie Library
in Gulfport.
[12]
The city had agreed to providing matching funds for the construction as well as committing to provide operating funds. In the 20th century, the city developed as an important port; as it was served by railroads from the interior, it stimulated town growth by providing a way to get products to markets.
The city's location on the coast made it vulnerable to hurricanes and it weathered several. But on August 17, 1969, Gulfport and the Mississippi Gulf Coast were hit by
Hurricane Camille
. Measured by central pressure, Camille was the second-strongest hurricane to make U.S. landfall in recorded history. The area of total destruction in Harrison County was 68 square miles (180 km
2
).[11] The total estimated cost of damage was $1.42 billion (1969 USD, $9 billion 2012 USD).[12] Camille was the second-most expensive hurricane in the United States, up to that point (behind
Hurricane Betsy
).[13] The storm directly killed 143 people in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
In December 1993, the City annexed 33 square miles (85 km
2
) north of Gulfport, making it the second-largest city in Mississippi.
Hurricane Katrina
[
edit
]
Damage to Marine Life Oceanarium and casinos at port facility after Hurricane Katrina
On August 29, 2005, Gulfport was hit by the strong eastern side of
Hurricane Katrina
. Much of the city was flooded or destroyed that day by the strong, hurricane-force winds, which lasted more than 16 hours, and a
storm surge
exceeding 28 feet (8.5 m) in some sections.
[13]
Hurricane Katrina damaged more than 40 Mississippi libraries, gutting the Gulfport Public Library, first floor, and breaking windows on the second floor, beyond repair. It required total reconstruction.
[14]
Although Katrina's damage was far more widespread, it was not the fiercest hurricane to hit Gulfport. Katrina, a Category 3 storm at landfall, was dwarfed by
Hurricane Camille
, a Category 5 storm, which had hit Gulfport and neighboring communities on August 17, 1969, with 175 mph sustained winds compared to Katrina's 120 mph sustained winds.
[15]
The Sun Herald
newspaper in Biloxi-Gulfport won the 2006
Pulitzer Prize
in journalism for its Katrina coverage.
[16]
The local ABC television affiliate, WLOX, won the
Peabody Award
for its Hurricane Katrina coverage.
[17]

Climate
[
edit
]
Gulfport has a
humid subtropical climate
, which is strongly moderated by the
Gulf of Mexico
. Winters are short and generally mild; cold spells do occur, but seldom last long. Snow flurries are rare in the city, with no notable accumulation occurring most years. Summers are generally long, hot and humid, though the city's proximity to the Gulf prevents extreme summer highs, as seen farther inland. Gulfport is subject to extreme weather, most notably
tropical storm
activity through the Gulf of Mexico. The all-time record high for the city is 107 °F (41.7 °C), set on August 26, 2023, and the record coldest is 1 °F (?17.2 °C) on February 12, 1899. Climate records for the city date back to 1893; however, until 1998 records were stitched with neighboring Biloxi.
