About City of D'Iberville, Mississippi

Situated on the eastern edge of Biloxi, along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, lies the City of D'Iberville. Named after Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville, a French-Canadian soldier, explorer, and the first European to set foot on Mississippi soil, D'Iberville is a small city steeped in cultural history, Southern charm, and a commitment to community safety.

D'Iberville: A Historical Overview

D'Iberville city, incorporated on February 10, 1988, has a rich cultural heritage. Its name and history are entwined with that of Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville, who sailed into Biloxi Bay in 1699 and claimed the area for King Louis XIV of France. Although the town only received city status in the late 20th century, it had been a recognizable community since the mid-19th century. The city is nestled against Biloxi's back bay and the Tchoutacabouffa River, boasting scenic views and rich natural resources.

As of 2020, the population was approximately 13,500, reflecting a growth rate that has steadily increased over the years. Despite its size, D'Iberville is a city that embraces progress and modernization while still holding onto its historic roots. Known for its prime location near the water, the city offers an array of recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and kayaking, contributing to the vibrant outdoor culture.

The economic landscape of D'Iberville is as diverse as its population, with commerce, retail, and the service industry being significant sectors. The city is home to the Promenade Shopping Center, a bustling retail hub that draws visitors from across the Gulf Coast. Moreover, the gaming industry also plays a significant role, with the Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort being a key contributor to the city's economy.
