The settlement was founded in the mid-19th-century (established in 1838, town-incorporated in 1872, city-incorporated in 1930) and its economy was largely based on cotton production and export (large plantations served by slaves). The industry initially developed through river shipping but was later boosted with the opening of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad (used between 1882 and 1946) running from Jackson MS (state's largest city) via Yazoo City MS, the Mississippi Delta and ending in Memphis Tennessee. In 1892, the railroad was expanded by adding the Memphis-New Orleans portion (Louisville, New Orleans and Texas Railway).
