Founded in 1887 as a railroad terminus on Mississippi's Gulf Coast, Gulfport grew into the largest lumber export city in the United States before transitioning into a tourism and casino destination known for its white beaches. Today the city — Mississippi's second largest — also hosts one of the busiest ports in the Gulf of Mexico, a major naval base, and a centre with a concentration of historic churches.
