The city of Vicksburg, Mississippi, in Warren County, was settled by French colonists in 1719 who built a fort on the bluffs over the Yazoo River. In 1729, local indians attacked the settlements in the area, killing hundreds of the settlers and taking most of the women and children. It was the site of the Civil War battle, the Siege of Vicksburg, and the South's surrender there was one of the turning points of the war. After that surrender, the Union Army kept control of the Mississippi River.
