Duncansby is a ghost town in Issaquena County, Mississippi, United States. Duncansby was located on a stretch of the Mississippi River known as Duncansby Chute. In 1844, nearby Skipwith became the first county seat. Shortly after, the county seat was moved to Duncansby. In 1848, the county seat was again moved, to Tallula. During the 19th century, the town erected dikes in an effort to reduce river flooding. In 1900, Duncansby had two churches, a post office, and a population of 157. A post office operated under the name Duncansby from 1874 to 1919. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began construction of the Sarah Cutoff in 1935, which created Old River Chute, an oxbow lake, and removed Duncansby from the contiguous Mississippi River. Nothing remains of the former community. (en) |
