Perhaps someday they will be.

Pearl County - In 1882 the people in the North part of Hancock county and those in the South part of Marion County decided to organize another county, taking a part of each county to make the new one. The name chosen for the new county was PEARL, after the river which divided the county from the State of Louisiana. In 1884, because of financial difficulties and then an act of the State Legislature, Pearl County was abolished and each part went back to its respective county. Gumpond was once again in Hancock County. (The Gumpond Community by L. M. Davis, Feb 1973, copy in VF "Pearl County")

PEARLINGTON
Pearlington, named after the many small pearls found along the river banks. (WPA, 1937)
Pearlington, a post-town in the southwestern part of Hancock county, on the Pearl river 10 miles from its mouth, and 40 miles northeast of New Orleans. It takes its name from the river. It has several churches, a good school, and large saw mills. Lumbering is the chief industry. A branch of the Hancock County Bank of Bay St. Louis was established here in 1902. Population in 1900, 850. (Encyclopedia of Mississippi History by Dunbar Rowland, LL. D., Vol II, 1907)
Located about nineteen miles southwest of Bay St. Louis, Pearlington was named for the fresh water pearls found along the nearby river bank. The place was once called little Jerusalem for the proud class of people who lived there.
Pearlington was one of the pioneering lumber towns of this once-important lumbering area and later was the terminal for a Louisiana-Mississippi automobile ferry, now extinct. Many large live oak trees covered with Spanish Moss, along with some of the largest and oldest Camelia Japonicas on the Mississippi Coast grow in and around Pearlington.
