Rodney, Mississippi (via flickr)
Rodney was a city in Jefferson County in southwest Mississippi, approximately 32 miles (51 km) northeast of Natchez. Rodney was founded in 1828, and in the 19th century, it was only three votes away from becoming the capital of the Mississippi Territory. Its population declined to zero after the Mississippi River changed course. The Rodney Center Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The town of Rodney was abolished by the governor in 1930, however people still lived there until it was abandoned on July 29, 1966, due to an unknown natural disaster. Since then is has been taken over by a small local hunting community that will occasionally pass through the deserted town.
