FORT BAYOU Jackson Co. Found this one in the state archives. It was listed in the 1890 and 1900 business census. Located on the north shore of Fort Bayou where Bayou Talla comes in. It was south of Bayou Talla Road and the locally famous rock and roll cemetery.
On the high banks of Fort Bayou among stately live oaks was the town of Fort Bayou. Records show a bank stores, a church and dwellings. All that is left is a lonely cemetery, a cattle dip, brick foundations and some old pier pilings in the bayou. The old place is across the bayou from present-day Ocean Springs. No one seems to recall much about the old town.
