SUMMARY: The content discusses the history of Bay St Louis, starting with its discovery by the Brothers D’Iberville and Bienville who were sent by Louis the 14th to claim the area along the Gulf of Mexico for France. The city was founded in 1699 and became a city in 1817. The area has a rich history involving Native Americans, French settlers, and the Battle of New Orleans. The discussion covers the origins of the names D’Iberville and Bienville, explaining that they were titles rather than family names. Eddie Coleman from the Hancock County Historical Society provides valuable insights into the city’s past.
