Rodney, Mississippi
Rodney is a former city in Jefferson County in southwest Mississippi, approximately northeast of Natchez. Rodney was founded in 1828, and in the 19th century, it was only three votes away from becoming the capital of the Mississippi Territory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ghost Town of Rodney )〕 Its population declined to nearly zero after the Mississippi River changed course. The Rodney Center Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Today a small number of inhabitants remain but the area is considered a ghost town and reliable data is hard to find as the town is not listed as a separate entity by the census bureau.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rodney, Mississippi )〕
==Early history==
Rodney was originally settled by the French in January 1763 and named Petit Gouffre,〔 meaning "Little Gulf". As a result of the French and Indian War, the area was taken by Great Britain. Spain would later control this area after taking West Florida from the British in 1781. Spain would hold the site until selling it to Thomas Calvit in 1798. The city was later renamed Rodney in 1828 in honor of Judge Thomas Rodney.〔(Roland, Dunbar. ''Mississippi''. Southern Historical Publishing Association, 1907.pg 574 )〕
