Why this spot
1848-1919 river port and brief county seat
A river town on Duncansby Chute that was briefly the Issaquena County seat in 1848 and had about 100 to 157 people, stores and churches later in the century. The railroad drew trade away, the post office closed in 1919, and a 1930s Corps cutoff left the site on an oxbow lake.View source →
