FORT MAUREPAS Jackson Co. This class A fort was originally built by the French and was finished in 1699. It is long gone. Until August, 2005, a replica of the fort sat on the east side of Biloxi Bay in Ocean Springs, about a mile from the original site. In August, 2005, that replica was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, and according to an E-mail rec’d August 19, 2006, there are no plans to rebuild it.
