LeFleur's Bluff State Park
LeFleur's Bluff State Park is a Mississippi state park in Jackson, Hinds County, Mississippi in the United States. It is located off Interstate 55 on the banks of the Pearl River within the city of Jackson. The park is named for Louis LeFleur, a French Canadian trader along the Natchez Trace who established a trading post on the banks of the Pearl River in the late 18th century that became known as LeFleur's Bluff. This village eventually grew to become Jackson.〔
==History==
The area which is now LeFleur's Bluff State Park was once part of the Choctaw Nation. Under pressure from the United States government, the Choctaw Native Americans agreed to removal from their lands east of the Mississippi River, under the terms of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830.〔 Although many Choctaws then moved to present-day Oklahoma, a significant number chose to stay in Mississippi.〔
In 1821, the Mississippi Legislature, meeting in the then-capital of Natchez, sent Thomas Hinds, James Patton, and William Lattimore to look for a location on which to establish a more centrally located state capital. After surveying areas north and east of what is now Jackson, they proceeded southwest along the Pearl River until they reached LeFleur's Bluff in today's Hinds County.〔 Their report to the General Assembly stated that this location had beautiful and healthful surroundings, good water, abundant timber, navigable waters, and proximity to the trading route (the Natchez Trace). On November 28, 1821, the state assembly authorized the location to become the permanent seat of the government of the state of Mississippi.〔
