Hattisburg, located at the junction of the Leaf and Bowie rivers, was founded in 1862 by Captain William H. Hardy, a civil engineer. The early pioneers of this area were the descendants of Scots, Irish, and English immigrants who immigrated to Georgia and both Carolina, and were attracted to the uncivilized, pine-rich land.

Hattisburg became a municipality with a population of 400 in 1884. It was originally called Twin Forks and later Gordon Building. Finally, Hardy named her Hattisburg after his wife Hatty.

In 1884, a railroad called the Southern Railway was built from Meridian to New Orleans via Hattisburg. The Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, now part of the Illinois Central System, opened from Gulfport to Jackson via Httysburg, triggering a wood boom in 1987. The railroad service took more than 20 years to complete its operation, but it had a greater effect than expected. Deep water ports were formed, the population of the area along the line was more than double, the town of Gulfport was built, and Hattisburg became the railway center.

In 1912, a local newspaper called Hattizburg 'a center-axis city' and this was a nickname. This came from the fact that many important railway lines were running through the Hattisberg. Later, U.S. National Route 49, Route 98 and Route 11, and later, Inter-State Expressway Route 59, became a relay point for major roads. Hattisburg, less than 100 miles (160 km) south of the provincial capital Jackson, is located in the center of the Gulf Coast of Mexico, New Orleans and Mobil, Alabama.

The area around Hattisburg was involved in the nuclear development competition during the cold war. In the 1960s, two nuclear bombs exploded about 28 miles (45 km) southwest of Hattisburg at the Rock Salt Dome near Lamberton. Subsequent investigations by the Environmental Protection Agency have failed to reveal levels of radiation contamination that could affect the human body.

Throughout the 20th century, Hattisburg has benefited from the establishment of Camp Shelby (now the Military Mobilization Center), two general hospitals, and two universities, South Mississippi University and William Kerry University. Urban areas, including Hattisburg, Forrest County and Lamar County, were designated as metropolitan areas in statistics when the population of urban areas exceeded 100,000 in 1994.

Hattisberg is located about 75 miles (120 km) inland from the coast, but during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, it was severely damaged. About 10,000 buildings in the area were damaged in some way. About 80% of the city road was blocked by fallen trees and power was stopped for up to 14 days. 24 people died in and around Hattisburg. There were a number of people in the city who had been demanding temporary hijackers and displacement from the shores of Louisiana and Mississippi, where Hurricane Katrina had been badly damaged, and this was confusing.

The Hattisburg Police Station is the first federal government-certified law enforcement agency in Mississippi, and the only authorized station in the past decade. It has its own training school, and it is one of the most difficult schools in Japan, where more than 50% of the students have left the school halfway.

The Hattisburg Zoo in Camper Park has long been popular among tourists.

civil rights movement

The Hattisburg and Palmer's cross-in African-American regions played an important role in the civil rights movement in the 1960s. In 1959, Clyde KENNARD, a black soldier who took part in the Korean War, submitted a request for admission to Mississippi Southern College (today's Minami Mississippi University), which was only accepting white people at that time. He was refused admission because of his race, and still persisted in his admission, when the Mississippi State Board of Sovereignty invented that he was plotting a crime and sentenced him to seven years' imprisonment in Mississippi Prison. Civil rights activists from Forrest County, such as Medger Evers and Vernon Darmer, leaders of the National Association for the Advancement of Blacks, fought to reverse the ruling.

Post offices in the central city of Hattisburg

Seron Lind, a Forrest County electoral register, was blocking the registration of black voters. In those days, 30% of the population was black, but less than 1% of the population had voting rights, while nearly 100% of the white people had voting rights. In 1961, when the United States Department of Justice charged Lind, Lind became the first Registrar of the Southern Electors to be convicted under the Civil Rights Act in 1957 for his charge of systematically obstructing the right to vote of African americans.

In 1962, the Student Non-Violent Cooperative Committee started the first plan to register the right to vote in Hattisburg, supported by the Federal Council of Organizations. By 1964, an organization called the Delta Mini Tree was active in the city. He formed the Forest County Voter Union by working with the National Association for the Advancement of Blacks and local civil rights leaders. In connection with the 1963 election, civil rights leaders organized a 'free vote' across the state, a mock election that shows both widespread discrimination and the desire of black people in Mississippi to seek full citizenship. This posed a huge physical and economic risk, but almost half of Forest County's negro participated and had the highest voter turnout in the state.

On January 21, 1964, the day was the "Day of Liberty" of Hattisburg, a major milestone of the Voter Registration Movement, supported by student demonstrators and 50 North Shinto priests. For the first time since the reconstruction era, racial protest for the right to vote was held without arrest even if piqueted to the court. About 100 African Americans tried to register their voters, but few were allowed to enter the court, and a few were registered on the voters' list. After that, protests were held every day for several months, and they came to be called 'never-ending pike.'

During the summer of freedom in 1964, the project of Hattisburg and Palmer's Crossing became the headquarters of all civil rights movements in the fifth district of the Federal House of Representatives in Mississippi, with more than 90 applicants and 3,000 local participants, the most active in the state. Hundreds of black people in Forest County tried to register as voters in court, but most of them were blocked. Over 650 children and adults attended one of the seven free schools, Hattisburg and Palmer's Crossing, and the three free libraries were launched in donated books and a regional center was established. Many white people were against the civil rights movement by blacks, and summer applicants and local African americans endured arrest, beating, row and expulsion.

Forrest County, which is also the center of activity for the Liberal Democratic Party of Mississippi, sent delegates to the Democratic Party Convention held in Atlantic City, to take on behalf of the Caucasian and pro-racism delegates, all of whom were elected by the established parties in the primary elections, where African americans were not able to participate. Per Mars Crossing's Victoria Jackson Gray confronted John C. Tennis, the incumbent Senator from Mississippi Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), and John Cameron of Httysburg ran for the fifth House election. It was known that black people could not win the election under the circumstances where they could not vote, but the race and the election campaign moved forward in the fight for the right to vote.

On the night of January 10, 1966, the White Knights of Ku. Klux Klan attacked the home of Vernon Darmer, leader of the National Black Status Association in Hattisburg, with bombs and guns. Darmer was the most prominent black leader in the county and the principal leader of the civil rights movement for many years. Just before the attack, Darmer declared that he would hand over two dollars of the voter registration tax to poor black people. Darmer gave his wife and three other young children, and his older aunt the rifle to hold the Klang's attack and gain time to escape from the burning house, but he died the next day from burn and smoke inhalation. The murder of Darmer caused a great march in Hattisburg. Many Kran people were arrested and four were convicted. After four trials were stranded on the rocks in 1998, Kran's Imperial Wizard Samuel Bowers was convicted of ordering the assassination of Dermer. Bowers were sentenced to life imprisonment.

Vera Uniform/Project Dribble Nuclear Test

The Bela Uniform was one of the elements of the Project Vera that was jointly executed by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Defense Higher Research Program Bureau. The purpose was to develop an earthquake probe device as a means of detecting underground nuclear tests. The project dribble planned two nuclear explosions. The salmon test was held on October 22, 1964, and was 5.3 kilo tons of power. The Stirling test took place on December 3, 1966, with a scale of 380 tons. They were held in the Tatum Rock Salt Dome, southwest of the Hattisburgh and Babis regions.
