ther, Jean Baptists le Moyne Bienville, who was the first actually to set foot on this land and give it its name. On August 25, 1699, according to the journalist from the frigate Le Marin, “We shortly afterwards found a beau, tiful bay, about one league in width by four in circumference, which was named Bay of St. Louis, because it was the day of St. Louis that we arrived there. We hunted three days and killed fifty deers.”
Bienville in December of the same year, 1699, placed a few families here with a sergeant and fifteen men in a small fort on the beach about where the George Horton residence now stands,
On January 3, 1721, two ships arrived, sent by d’lberville, with about 300 persons hoping for land grants in this section. A part of the group, colonists under a Madame Mezieres, were the pioneer settlers of Bay St. Louis.
On Febuary 10, 1763 a treaty signed in Paris ceded this section of the New World to Eng. land, and to the music of bag. pipes at Mobile the British flag took the place of the fleur de lis of France. Only sixteen years later, however, on May 8, 1779 Spain declared war on England; and within two years the Spanish governor of Louisiana, forced the surrender of every English possession, on the Mississippi River and along the GulfCoast. But by a diplomatic triple play in 1803 this section, along with Louisiana, went from Spain to France to the United States within twenty days’ time. The flag of the United States was actually raised for the first time over the Bay of St. Louis on January 9, 1811.
Names prominent in earliest recorded property sales of this section include Jourdan (for whom Jourdan River was named) Saucier, Necaise and Ladner.
