here City of Jackson, Mississippi website Jackson was founded in 1821 at the site of a trading post that was situated on a "high handsome bluff" on the west bank of the Pearl River. Legend tells that the trading post was operated by a French-Canadian trader named Louis LeFleur, and the town originally was called LeFleur's Bluff.
Although less than 8,000 people lived in the Jackson area at the
turn of the century, its population began accelerating rapidly after 1900, and
it is now one of the dynamic growth areas of the Sunbelt. In 1990, the
