Description
Rare original Bill of Goods from the Steamer Victoria dated March 27th 1860 for $25.00 dollars.
Victoria, Bolivar County, Mississippi
For the unincorporated community in Marshall County, see Victoria, Marshall County, Mississippi.
Victoria is a ghost town in Bolivar County, Mississippi, United States.
Victoria was a historic port on the Mississippi River, located south of Lake Concordia, approximately 3.8 mi (6.1 km) west of Gunnison.
A bend in the Mississippi River at the location of the settlement was named "Victoria Bend", and continues to be known thus. Nothing remains of the settlement, as "changes in the river's course doomed the village to extinction".
History
Victoria had mail delivery from 1840 to 1871.[2] A mail route described in official documents in 1841 included—from south to north—the Mississippi River ports of Vicksburg, Nine Mile Reach, Princeton, Egg Point (west of present-day Avon), Bachelor's Bend (south of Greenville), Bolivar, Victoria, Port Royal, Delta, Commerce, and Memphis. A mail route from Victoria east to Locopolis (now a ghost town west of Cowart) was also documented.
